Chapter 146: Master and Apprentice by Candlelight

The little girl enthusiastically introduced herself, saying that her name was Zhuohe, that she had lived for more than two hundred years, that she had lived almost the same life as the Immortal Country, and that although she had been imprisoned here for many years, she was famous.

"Are you curious, why I have lived for more than two hundred years, and I am still so short?" Zhuo He asked...

"Hmm...... Maybe. Lin Shouxi wasn't that curious.

"Because I have a devil hidden in my body, it is eating my body all the time, I am being eaten smaller and smaller, this ghost is very terrible, even Luo Chu'e doesn't dare to do anything to me." Zhuo He smiled and quipped, and he didn't know whether his words were true or false.

The little girl's enthusiasm made it a little difficult for Lin Shouxi to adapt, and more importantly, he felt that the little girl in front of him was dangerous...... The unspeakable danger is like a drop of water hanging from a pan of oil.

"You and Luo Chu'e are enemies? What enmity do you have against her? ”

Lin Shouxi remained vigilant, he wasn't sure if the other people in the giant building cage were cellmates or the people Luo Chu'e had sent to spy on them.

"Do you need a reason to make a feud with Luo Chu'e? Except for those who really have no backbone, how can anyone not hate Luo Chu'e. ”

Zhuo He said lightly: "We should live under the light and enjoy the admiration and love of the world, instead of realizing the pain of being born in the dark underworld. ”

"You want to help me?"

"Hmm." Zhuo He nodded and said, "Not only me, but others will try to help you as much as possible." ”

She smiled and added, "Don't worry, we are all good people, after all, only good people will be locked up in prison." ”

Zhuo He was smiling, her expression moved slightly, and she looked behind Lin Shouxi, "Hey, it's a beautiful sister!" ”

Chu Yingchan followed the sound and walked over, she stood behind Lin Shouxi, looking at this small and delicate girl, she was also shocked, in the past she had heard the legend of the elf girl dancing in the palm of the king, if the legend is true, maybe it is nothing more than that.

Zhuo He stared at Chu Yingchan, her dark pupils became bright, and her face showed a look of infatuation:

"Wow, my sister is really beautiful, is this a living beauty, I am so envious, like the sun walking on the earth, and like the stars falling into the ocean...... For more than 200 years, I have only read about it in books. ”

Zhuo He was bouncing around her cell, wanting to see more clearly, she kept praising Chu Yingchan: "This is the real beauty, I think compared to my sister, Luo Chu'e is simply a crow who dresses herself up every day." ”

Before Chu Yingchan could say a word, she was caught and praised by this little girl she had never met, she was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to respond.

"My master's age is not even a fraction of your age, how can you have a sister." Lin Shouxi smiled and spoke, wanting to relieve the embarrassment.

"Who says sisters have to be judged by age?" Zhuo He said with a smile.

"Hmm...... Or else? Lin Shouxi asked.

"For example, this brother married a sixteen-year-old girl as a daughter-in-law, and it didn't take long for him to change his mind and marry this beautiful sister. Zhuo He asked with a vivid voice.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan looked at each other with strange expressions, they knew that she was just casually giving an example to sophistry, but they always felt that this girl was insinuating something.

"Hmm...... Sister? Chu Yingchan replied tentatively.

"Wow, my sister's consciousness is so high." Zhuo He exclaimed.

Chu Yingchan's eyebrows frowned, and she always felt that she had fallen into some trap.

"What's the main and secondary here?" Lin Shouxi shook his head.

Zhuo He and Chu Yingchan looked at him at the same time.

"Or are you more conscious?" Zhuo He couldn't help but say.

"I mean, it's important to be single-minded in getting married, and if you have a wife, you shouldn't think about your sisters." Lin Shouxi said solemnly.

Chu Yingchan nodded lightly, agreeing with him.

"You're really ......" Zhuo He looked at him, and stopped talking.

"Open-minded?"

"No, it's young and ignorant!" Zhuo He pursed his mouth.

"Miss He, don't make such jokes, this fairy and I are not Taoists, she is my master...... Alright, let's get down to business. Lin Shouxi didn't want to continue this boring topic.

Chu Yingchan stood dignified to the side, her head was long-standing, but the red mark on her eyebrows flickered out of place, this red mark seemed to be a mouth that was even more chattering than Zhuo He, attacking the hypocrisy of their master and apprentice.

Chu Yingchan was helpless, and scolded Lin Shouxi a few words with a straight face, and slapped him on the palm with a ring ruler, and the red seal finally stopped.

Zhuo He didn't make fun of them for the absurdity of this scene, she stared at the red seal and muttered, "This, is this ......?"

"The Mark of Slaanesh." Chu Yingchan said.

"Sure enough, it's this thing, it seems that Luo Chu'e is really jealous of you. Hmph, this female devil punishes others for her crimes every day, but she is a condensation of sin, what an irony. Zhuo He shook his head.

"Is there a way to break this spell?" Lin Shouxi immediately asked.

"No, this is one of the Seven Primordial Sins Curses of the Immortal Kingdom, it is engraved on the rule stone tablet in the deepest part of the Purgatory Valley, and only Luo Chu'e can crack it." Zhuo He stared at the red seal that was beating like fire, and his expression became solemn.

"Isn't there a way at all?" Lin Shouxi asked.

Zhuo He thought for a long time, and finally said, "Mr. Gong may have a way. ”

"Mr. Gong?" Lin Shouxi had heard this name many times, "Who the hell is he?" ”

"Mr. Gong is the true founder of this immortal country."

Zhuo He explained: "We are all true immortals, born to be true immortals, mortals die after their souls are scattered, true immortals are not, some of our souls are collected by the big family and the Shenshan sect, ready to inject new bodies at any time, and get a new life, but most of the dead true immortals, the souls are free from the dust, helpless, until they are truly worn out and die." ”

"The descendants of the true immortals are in a high position in the Divine Mountain, why are you ending up like this?" Lin Shouxi asked.

Zhuo He didn't answer directly, she asked, "In your eyes, what is a true immortal?" Well...... Just be honest. ”

"Arrogant, arrogant, regard blood as a treasure, and others as barbarians." Lin Shouxi was blunt.

"Hmm." Zhuo He was not angry, but praised: "It sums it up well, it seems that you have met a lot of true immortals...... You see, good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, isn't it strange that the true immortals ended up like this? ”

She smiled and casually recited the reason, and said: "Mr. Gong has pity on us, he wants to help us create a new home, but he didn't expect that he was deceived by Luo Chu'e, Luo Chu'e didn't know when he had fallen, she usurped Mr. Gong's power, imprisoned him, and turned this immortal country that should have become the heavenly kingdom of true immortal souls into our city of calamity......"

"Mr. Gong......" Chu Yingchan bit her lower lip and muttered.

"Did Master think of something?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Three hundred years ago, there was indeed a famous family near the mountain of the gods, called the Gong family."

Chu Yingchan recalled what her mother had said to her, "My mother's family was ruined when she was a child, and it was the Gong family who took her in, and she did the duty of accompanying the eldest lady of the Gong family to practice swords, huh...... It's just that later, the king of Cangbi attacked the divine wall, and the palace family bore the brunt of the destruction, and it collapsed. ”

It is said that the eldest lady of the palace family has been childish and impulsive since she was a child, flying and domineering, such as a tiger in the forest, a fierce crocodile in the water, and she is an indispensable girl.

Chu Yingchan also asked her mother about the specific story of the eldest lady of the palace family, but her mother was vague and unwilling to say anything, as if there were complicated grievances between them.

Zhuo He hadn't been outside and didn't know what was going on outside, she just said: "In short, Mr. Gong is a very good person, since you are selected by him, then you are our friends, and it is natural to help you!" ”

Zhuo He's eyes sparkled equally when he mentioned Mr. Gong.

"Okay, okay, you can rest in peace for a while, and I'll brainstorm with my fellow inmates to see if we can help you think of more ways." Zhuo He said: "Those who can be locked in here are all incredible talents, maybe there can be a good way!" ”

Lin Shouxi ended chatting with the little girl, but there was no way to feel at ease.

The turning room was a constant reminder of the passage of time, but they were trapped here, unable to go anywhere.

So in the interval of thinking, they really became a pair of master and apprentice.

The two sat opposite each other in the dimly lit room, a lamp that floated on the dark golden oil, illuminating their faces and clothes, and neither of them took the initiative to mention the curse of Slaanesh until they thought of a suitable solution, but only talked about swords and spells.

They chatted surprisingly engaged.

In the past, there was some rustiness between them, they were like tigers and deer who were forced together by the master wielding a big stick, and they were also given the indicator that 'a little unicorn must be born'.

On most topics, they can find a common language, and occasionally there will be disagreements and arguments, at this time, Chu Yingchan will take out the ring ruler that symbolizes the dignity of the teacher, and she said in an unbelievable tone with a beautiful fairy spirit: "Listen to the master." ”

Lin Shouxi looked at the black ring ruler and didn't argue, just smiled helplessly and said 'good'.

They chatted about mental methods, swordsmanship, stories and legends in their hometown, gossip about Yunkong Mountain, and their views on demons and Taoism......

Their chat may be an insoluble escape from the curse of slackery, but it also unexpectedly dissolves the estrangement between each other, Chu Yingchan's 'apprentice' is more and more pleasant, and Lin Shouxi's 'master' is also more and more pleasant.

"Are you deliberately following my words?" Chu Yingchan chatted with him so naturally that she became suspicious.

"If I were to deliberately follow you, wouldn't I have to know what you like to hear?"

"Well, yes too......"

"If we can get out safely, I will definitely recognize you as a master." Lin Shouxi said.

Chu Yingchan stretched out her finger and touched his lips, "Don't say such things." ”

Generally speaking, what is said in the book usually does not end well.

"Does Master still believe this?" Lin Shouxi said with a smile.

"When people are at a loss and helpless, they always look for something to believe." Chu Yingchan held the ring ruler, gently patted her palm, and said quite majestically: "Hmm...... Say something auspicious and blessed to Master. ”

"Blessed Words......

Lin Shouxi thought for a while and said, "Poor master has encountered something terrible? ”

"Huh?"

Chu Yingchan was slightly stunned, and then reacted, "Indeed...... Quite a blessing. ”

Chu Yingchan thought it was interesting, thought for a moment, and even said: "The lovely master met the hateful apprentice. ”

"Huh?"

Lin Shouxi looked at Chu Yingchan's smiling face, was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I originally thought that only a little demon girl like Mu Shijing would talk like this, but I didn't expect that a fairy like Master would be like this." ”

"Hmm...... Isn't that possible? Chu Yingchan asked.

"It can be, but the master who learns badly will be severely punished." Lin Shouxi said.

"How can you learn badly...... What the teacher said was just the truth. ”

Chu Yingchan pursed her lips, straightened her clothes, and said majestically: "Don't quibble, before I met you and Xiao He, I failed to kill demons and demons, and after meeting you, unsatisfactory things came one after another." ”

"Is Master blaming us?"

"Or else?"

"But I heard that before this, you were often beaten by the master, if the master is really perfect, why should the master beat you? Could it be that the master made a mistake on purpose......" Lin Shouxi looked at her with strange eyes.

"Presumptuous." Chu Yingchan's silver teeth gritted slightly, "It's just because of the master...... Well, the dignity of the division is just harsh. ”

"Hey, the honest apprentice met the sophistry master." Lin Shouxi said helplessly.

One of them spoke to Bai Zhu, as if the cute and bright girl would bless them from afar in Yunkong Mountain.

The two talked to each other for a while, Chu Yingchan was not as good as Lin Shouxi, who could speak well, and soon ran out of words, she sat there, holding a ring ruler, her beautiful cheeks were reflected by the firelight, and she had a little bit of the unique willfulness of a little girl.

"Reach out." She used a killer move.

Lin Shouxi wanted to surrender, but it was too late, and his palm was hit a few more times, which was not painful, it was more like Chu Yingchan announcing the status between them.

The candle flame hooked them, and it seemed that they would never burn out, and they found a moment of peace in the light of this firework.

Small talk is not a long-term thing, and once they are silent, the mixed thoughts in their hearts will rush up and block their subsequent words.

Soon after, the knocking on the window rang out again.

Lin Shouxi saw Zhuo He again.

The petite girl took out a piece of paper and entrusted it to him, saying that it was the result of the brainstorming of her fellow inmates.

Each room in the prison was separated, and it was very difficult for them to communicate, and they had to pass through one small barbed window after another.

Hardship is hardship, and the results they negotiated do not help him.

Like Lin Shouxi's thinking, their ideas are also to break the established rules.

In this line of thinking, all the inmates showed their talents and provided many wild ideas, which made Lin Shouxi wonder if Zhuo He had come to delay their time.

Some inmates said that they wanted to create an unprecedented new color, paint their bodies, and suddenly remove their clothes when they danced to Luo Chu'e, and made her Taoist heart lose with colors that did not belong to this world, and some inmates argued at length, saying that the world's confinement of people comes from 'bending', and we are left in the world by many bends of the world, as long as we can smooth out these bends, we can soar in the day and go wherever we want to go, and the following is a lot of numerical derivation that ordinary people can't understand.

The only one that is more reliable is to let Chu Yingchan return to the Black Emperor Temple after ten days and blow out the candle of 'desire', at that time, the lust in her body has reached an extremely terrifying level, and the manifestation of lust in the candle smoke may even be strong enough to destroy the immortal country.

But none of these ideas can be realized for the time being.

Chu Yingchan also looked at them one by one, and in the end she just shook her head.

"Everyone is very enthusiastic, it seems that they have indeed suffered from Luo Chu'e for a long time." Chu Yingchan said.

"Hmm. It's a pity that if their ideas are realized, our children will probably be born. Lin Shouxi shook his head and said.

Although it was just a joke, Chu Yingchan's expression couldn't help but condense, she wanted to reprimand two sentences, but soon found that this might really become the reality they would face.

If they can't escape, if they remain imprisoned, what will Luo Chu'e, the witch, do to them?

"If you do have a child, what is the child's name?" In order to appear that she could afford to joke, Chu Yingchan followed his words.

This time it was Lin Shouxi's turn to be stunned.

At this point, silence is admitting defeat, Lin Shouxi thought about it and said, "Let's call Lin Nianhe." ”

"Oh."

Chu Yingchan responded nonchalantly, her face cold.

"It's just a joke, why bother." Lin Shouxi felt that something was wrong with her emotions.

"yes, it's just a joke, and I don't care." Chu Yingchan lowered her head, looking unconcerned, she stood up, and there was no smile on her cold cheeks, "Okay, if you can't make up your mind, let's practice first, if you don't understand something, teach you as a teacher." ”

Lin Shouxi hadn't really cultivated in meditation for a long time.

Under Chu Yingchan's urging, Lin Shouxi began to meditate and practice.

In the history of Mount Kinabalu, there are many cultivators who meditate on themselves after being imprisoned and suddenly had an epiphany, and this prison disaster may not be a bad thing for him.

The first thing he practiced was still the Hehuan technique.

Chu Yingchan sat on the side and quietly watched him cultivate.

She had also read that ancient scroll and knew the principle of this exercise, and now she felt interesting when she watched Lin Shouxi practice, and couldn't help but meditate on the key to the mental method, and after a while, she sat down beside Lin Shouxi and cultivated with him, Lin Shouxi was yang, Chu Yingchan was yin, they seemed to be sitting at both ends of the yin and yang fish, and their hearts and minds were in harmony, and gradually entered a certain resonance.

I don't know how long later, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes were facing each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.

They find the way to understand.
