Chapter 153: The Immobile Goddess
Lin Shouxi has never seen the eldest prince, but the eldest prince's building is the most exquisite and beautiful in the Wu family, so after Xiao He killed him, he robbed his building with him, and Lin Shouxi saw his portrait when he cleaned up the manuscript.
In the painting, he is as rich as jade and lifelike.
The painting was later burned by Xiao He, and she only had disappointment in her brow when she talked about the eldest prince, who was handsome and handsome compared to her ten years of penance.
Similarly, Lin Shouxi also recognized this kind of temperament, and in the competition of Yunkong Mountain, he had seen exactly the same thing in Zhao Ge.
But Lin Shouxi didn't expect that he would see him here.
The blue-black curtain was opened, and the eldest prince stood at the door of the kitchen, shrouded in a thin layer of light.
The eldest prince maintained the movement of lifting the curtain, standing still, and his face also showed a long-lost look.
Killing Intent......
This fierce killing intent mixed with the bloody aura was so familiar, he had smelled it before—in himself.
On the rainy night of the Wu family, he was pierced through the chest by his sister Wu Youhe's sword, and fell to the flat floor, his blood and bones were shattered by the killing intent, emitting a foul, pungent smell, which was the breath of death alone, better than all strong wine, and he was willing to revel in it, as long as it was not emanating from his own body.
The soul of the true immortal is far more tenacious than that of mortals, after he was killed by Wu Youhe, his soul was scattered, floating between the yin and the underworld, without consciousness and thought, like a dandelion seed, looking for the soil that can take root and sprout again.
About a year later, he woke up again, and when he woke up, he saw a mist of gray fog, and through the gray mist, he came to this undead kingdom, and he was reborn.
He learned that the Immortal Kingdom was the kingdom established by the true immortals after death, and it was the destination of the true immortal souls, where he could live like a human.
Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer true immortals who have died, and a pure soul like him is even rarer, so as soon as he arrived in the city, he was received by Luo Chu'e, the lord of the immortal country, He saw this legendary saint who captivated the country and the city, bowed and worshipped, Luo Chu'e promised that as long as he was obedient, he could get an official position in the palace, and when the immortal country saw the light of day again in the future, he would return to the world as a pure true immortal.
It's purgatory for many, but it's heaven for him.
Although the immortal country is only the size of a city, but here he is immortal, no longer have to worry about the threat of death, just obediently listen to Luo Chu'e's words, he can even imagine the scene of the future immortal country seeing the light of day, he will avenge this murderous revenge to his sister, let her experience ten times more pain, he will ascend to a higher position, and turn the chess player behind him into a pawn in his hand.
There is no endless road in the sky, and the immortal city will be his place of survival.
So when he smelled this murderous aura, the eldest prince was surprised, he knew that as long as Luo Chu'e was willing, everything in the immortal kingdom could be heard by heaven in an instant, and he couldn't hide it from her at all.
Someone dared to kill someone under Luo Chu'e's nose? And even today, on my own visit.
The eldest prince's gaze swept over the room, and he soon saw the blood flowing from the ground and the detached corpses.
The deceased was none other than the butcher's brother, and he was lying on the ground, with a fatal wound on the back of his neck, and there were almost no signs of a fight in the room, indicating that the deceased had been killed by a single blow, and at the same time, the killer was also very cautious, leaving no traces of blood.
He's a killer......
Not long after the eldest prince came to the Immortal Country, he didn't know enough about the people here, but he knew that the two brothers had offended countless people, and it was not unreasonable for them to be killed.
When encountering this kind of thing, the safest choice is to report it to Luo Chu'e, but the eldest prince is not sure whether this kind of trivial matter will disturb Her Majesty the Empress and make her change her attitude towards herself.
He didn't want to be belittled.
After examining the wounds of the corpse, the eldest prince stood up quietly, paced around the room, and watched for all the clues, and vaguely felt a pair of eyes staring at him, but he could not determine for a moment where the gaze came from.
Suddenly, he noticed the bamboo rafts placed in the corners, which were placed diagonally on the wall, forming a narrow space with the wall.
The eldest prince frowned slightly and walked towards there.
At this moment, there were footsteps outside, and the butcher, who was full of alcohol, opened the curtain and looked inside, "Childe, what's going on inside, why hasn't there been any movement for so long." ”
There were many people in the building today, and the eldest prince didn't want to make a big noise, so he immediately turned around, stopped the butcher, and only asked him to stay outside, wait for himself, and don't move.
Although the butcher had doubts, he did not dare not agree.
The eldest prince returned to the house and removed the bamboo raft, which was empty behind it.
Are you thinking too much......
After hesitating, the eldest prince looked elsewhere.
Gradually, his heartstrings tightened.
Because he found that there were some traces of footprints in the dusty places in the house, but the windowsill was dirty and smooth, and there was no trace of the killer walking through the window, and at the same time, the body was already cold, indicating that it had been dead for a long time, and it stands to reason that the killer had already left, and he left through the door.
This inference was reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong.
The house is cramped. Although the objects were in disarray, there was not much room for them, and he examined the stacks of firewood, the stove, and even the beams of the house, and found not even a single bird's shadow.
I just felt that someone was secretly watching me...... Is it a delusion?
The eldest prince closed his eyes and was about to leave, when an intuition suddenly arose in his heart, he turned over the bamboo row again, and when he squatted down, his face changed.
His hand touched the cracks in the floor, his fingers covered with dust.
Dust is shaken out of the cracks! The floor has been pried!
The eldest prince immediately pulled out the sword he was carrying, and used the tip of the sword to pry the edge of the plank, and the already loose plank was easily cocked, and it was pitch black inside, and there was really room for him.
The killer is inside!
The eldest prince's heart was beating hard, he knew that if he died here, there would be no chance of resurrection, and he had experienced the reincarnation of the purgatory blood pool, and when he woke up again, he might not be him......
If he didn't die in the catastrophe, he should have spared his life.
Can......
In his mind, Xiao He's face suddenly flashed...... In the building on a rainy night, he turned around and saw that the girl who was originally only delicate had turned into a snow-haired alluring city, she stood there with a sword, and her indifferent water-cutting eyes could accommodate the candles in the building, but they could not accommodate him.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eldest prince's eyes.
He moved the plank to the side, sword in hand, and leaped down.
He was so engrossed that the imaginary assassination had not come.
The wood under the floor was staggered, and the space was too small to spread out, and his net spread out, looking for traces of the killer, but the killer was as cunning as a fox, even if he deliberately showed all kinds of flaws, he didn't make a move.
While the eldest prince was nervously searching, there was a conversation outside the kitchen.
"Huh? Who are you......" the butcher asked.
"Butcher, why are you here like a log, cook, why haven't you seen him all night?" An unfamiliar voice rang out.
"Oh, Childe-sama asked me to wait for him."
"Childe? Childe-sama is in this filthy place, how can this be done? ”
"Don't go, don't go, Childe has ordered, let people not disturb him, don't make Childe angry."
"Hmm...... Well, I'm waiting for him here. ”
A brief conversation was interrupted, and there was deathly silence outside.
The eldest prince was unimpressed at first, but soon, he became acutely aware that something was wrong - their conversation was unnatural.
didn't have time to think about it, the eldest prince jumped up, stepped on the bamboo row, lifted the curtain after a few leaps, and then saw a shocking scene:
The butcher, who had been talking earlier, fell to the ground, his neck slit, almost decapitated, and a large amount of blood scattered from his messy hair, quickly forming a pool of blood, his eyes white, and his face congealed with shock.
The butcher was killed.
The killer sneaks outside through the floor, and he approaches the butcher and kills him with a single blow.
The eldest prince looked at the butcher's corpse, his eyes were red, he knew that he had been tricked, the other party was playing a game of hide and seek with him, and this corpse lying on the ground was the most naked mockery of him!
The conversation happened just now, the killer had not gone far, the eldest prince was resentful in his heart, and it was impossible to spare him anymore, he carried his sword and subconsciously chased forward.
Once again, he realized that something was wrong.
Just after the banquet, the building was crowded with people, and it was impossible for him to go out in such a short time!
Realizing this, the eldest prince immediately turned around and folded into the kitchen, and almost at the same time, the sound of the window opening sounded, and the wind poured in, and I saw that on the dusty windowsill, there was a dark figure, which looked out of the window, and was about to jump out.
I was almost deceived by him again......
Fortunately, the eyes of the eldest prince who had been tricked around were full of fierceness, "I caught you." ”
The dragon in the sheath groaned, and the eldest prince drew his sword and jumped up, and he started with the Wu family's swordsmanship.
The distance between the two quickly decreased.
Before the black-clothed boy could jump out, he was chased by the eldest prince, and after he finished killing people, the sword was withdrawn into its sheath, and he seemed to have no time to draw his sword, only holding the scabbard wrapped in black cloth and hurriedly meeting the enemy.
On the side of the stove, the two exchanged seven or eight moves one after another, and the eldest prince had the upper hand.
"Sure enough, the fundamental reason why the fox is cunning is that it does not have the courage and strength to face the tiger and wolf head-on." The eldest prince said coldly.
After the master has made a move, the first move can see the depth, and after these few moves, the eldest prince has a number in his heart: the opponent's strength is good, but it is not his opponent at all.
The cunning fox knew that he was invincible, and used strange tricks. He pretended to draw his sword, but he covered the cloak on his body, and in this gap, he jumped up, narrowly avoided the sword that the eldest prince stabbed out, and fled outside.
The eldest prince swung his sword and slashed through the black cloak, and the window in front of him was open, and it shook in the wind like a mockery.
was killed by his sister who had been practicing hard for more than ten years, although he was resentful, but after all, his skills were not as good as others, and he would not have too many complaints, but he was escaped by such a cunning opponent whose strength was far inferior to his own, how could he bear it?
Footsteps could already be heard outside—someone heard the movement and sprung over.
The eldest prince did not have the face to turn back to meet the guests, and he became angry, jumped out, and chased after him.
Huge buildings are towering.
The eldest prince leaped down from the corner of the cornice, his flying white robe like the outstretched wings of a giant bird, and he swooped downward, and the downstairs was brightly lit and the grotesque buildings were lined up one after another.
Although the killer was the first to escape, he chased in time, and soon re-locked the killer's location, on the tall building, the two figures flew, chased and escaped, and ran over the sloping walls, leaving a series of afterimages.
On the tall building, the eldest prince looked indifferent and chased after him, he was like a falcon hunting for food, and the black fox was tired of running for his life, and he would become the ghost of his sword at any time.
Soon, the eldest prince realized that the fox's analogy may not be accurate, this killer is more like a loach, he has chased him many times, but the other party is obviously not against him, but there are always fancy means to escape, although he can clearly see that the other party's means are gradually exhausted, but this feeling of not being able to hunt always scratches his heart, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Gradually, the lights disappeared around him, and before he knew it, he had chased him to a remote area that was rarely visited.
The black-clothed killer tried to escape into an alley, the eldest prince's long-stored anger was condensed on the tip of the sword, he dropped his sword like a chisel, and hit the killer's back accurately, although the killer reacted quickly, and blocked the blow behind the sword in time, but the huge impact still pressed him into the alley.
Well...... This move seems to be a little familiar.
This thought flashed in the mind of the eldest prince, and he had already jumped down and landed in this alley, he slashed his sword, looked at the figure that he knocked to the ground, and said coldly:
"Don't be afraid, since you dare to come to this dragon tower and kill people under my nose, there must be a big plan, before you confess everything, I will leave you a way to live."
Now that he has caught the prey, the eldest prince's heart has calmed down a lot, he knows that a real master should have the strength to embrace all rivers, and he is still far from accepting all rivers, so he even began to reflect on Fang Cai's impatience and irritability.
He walked towards Lin Shouxi, his pace was steady, and his words gradually became steady, "You can't escape." ”
But seeing that the young man who had been hit by a sword, he should have lost his ability to resist also staggered to his feet, he stood in the empty alley, with a simple black cloth mask on his face, looking funny, but the eyes exposed in the mask were as cold as the tip of a sword.
"It's you who can't escape." The young man in black spoke, his voice no longer hoarse.
The eldest prince frowned.
Because he saw that the other party's black clothes also hunted, which was proof that the true qi was spreading to the clothes when it flowed at a high speed.
"Looks like you've got something hidden."
The eldest prince was not too surprised, with Xiao He's previous experience, he was much more cautious, and when he chased and fled before, he guessed that the other party might have hidden his strength.
"Your realm is indeed good, but this is the immortal country, the realm does not have much significance in the immortal country, the purity of the soul and the nobility of the status are the source of strength, even if Her Majesty the Goddess promotes a little minion to his side, that little minion will also be the existence of one person in this country." The eldest prince said lightly.
He is one of the people chosen by Luo Chu'e, not to mention that he is not a little minion at all.
After leaving the palace, many people who disobeyed him tried against him, and they were very strong, but none of them were his opponents.
But soon, the confidence on the eldest prince's face was shattered by the other party's words:
"How many tricks did Xiao He use to kill you?"
Xiao He......
She was her own sister, and the one who killed him with her own hands, a name that appeared countless times in his nightmares, and the first time she came out of his mouth, it was like lightning blasting through his brain.
Then, he saw that the other party had untied the torn black cloth that wrapped the sword, revealing the true appearance of the sword.
This sword......
He recognized this sword, it was the sword of the God Slayer that they had accidentally obtained, and it was enshrined in the Sword Pavilion, and it was not close to anyone! Now, this thorny sword was held in Lin Shouxi's hand, and it trembled endlessly, like a bloodthirsty wolf's groan.
"You...... Who are you? The eldest prince asked in a trembling voice.
Lin Shouxi took off his hood and revealed his true face.
The eldest prince's face changed completely, he also recognized this young man, because this young man was very close to Xiao He, and he even asked his subordinates to assassinate him...... So his men died.
Now, the misfortune of fate made him tremble, and he could never have imagined that he would see him here again!
Similarly, he also realized that the other party didn't want to alarm the people in the Dragon Tower, so he deliberately hid his tricks and lured him to this no-man's land.
There was a dead silence on both sides of the alley, full of abandoned houses.
This was originally one of the escape routes that Zhuo He had prepared for him, but now it has become a place for him to kill.
"I answered your question, why didn't you answer mine." Lin Shouxi glanced at him and asked again, "Xiao He used a few tricks to kill you." ”
How could the eldest prince have the heart to answer the question, he was in a dilemma in his heart.
Seeing that he still didn't answer, Lin Shouxi sighed and pulled out of the Zhan Palace, saying:
"Actually, it stands to reason that I should have called you uncle, but unfortunately you are not a good person...... Well, it's a pity ......"
This sentence reached the ears of the eldest prince, but he was completely enraged, he looked at Lin Shouxi's face, and couldn't help but think of Xiao He's provocative laughter, his heart was almost exploded because of anger, he roared, stepped forward, swung his sword into a circle, and slashed towards Lin Shouxi.
He is the person chosen by Luo Chu'e, in the immortal city, how can he kill himself?
The sword slashed into the air.
Lin Shouxi couldn't be more familiar with the Wu family's swordsmanship, he didn't look at the eldest prince's shot, and directly responded with a horizontal sword, a standing sword, and a back sword, and prevented his most powerful attack from being impenetrable, and then, the sword sutra of the white pupil and black phoenix was attached to the sword blade and flew out diagonally.
The eldest prince gained another kind of peace in his extreme anger - the peace of death.
He heard the cry of the phoenix bird, as if it came from his ears, and as if it came from the thunderous sky of the witch appliance, which was the totemic symbol of the witch family, which should be as ethereal as death.
A sword seals the throat.
He fell lightly to the ground of the long street, staring blankly at the sky, he was no longer domineering, and trembling words spread between his lips:
"Your Majesty...... Save me. ”
……
Lin Shouxi looked at the corpse that fell to the ground, and didn't think much about it, he went directly to search his body and took out his soul card.
The eldest prince is dead, and there is not a word on the soul card.
"I didn't know your name until the end." Lin Shouxi said regretfully.
He took the Soul Card and got up.
When he stood up, he suddenly noticed a person standing in front of him, a person who was more handsome than the eldest prince.
He was startled, but after staring at the man for a while, he quickly calmed down and said, "It's me." ”
- On this long empty street, I don't know when a mirror appeared.
Lin Shouxi turned and left.
In the mirror, he didn't turn around.
"You...... Aren't you afraid? ”
A voice came from behind him.
The void fabricated lens shattered, and a figure walked out of it, but it was not Lin Shouxi, but Luo Chu'e's tall and graceful figure.
Burgundy pointed-toe jade shoes landed on the interface, on which were thin socks all over the ancient seals, and the woman's slender jade legs were staggered, and the heels of the shoes hit the ground, making a crisp sound.
She glanced at the man in white who had fallen to the ground and shook her head as well.
She sensed his plea for help, and came in an instant, but it was still a step too late, but she didn't care, except for Mr. Gong, everyone was just a toy in her eyes.
"Aren't you afraid to accept punishment if you destroy my toys?" Luo Chu'e asked.
"We still have a gambling contract, if you hurt me, it goes against the agreement, even you will anger the rules you made with your own hands." Lin Shouxi said seriously.
"It's true, but ......"
Luo Chu'e shook her head and said, "But you are not a person from the immortal country, and you are not within the rules...... I have taught you and Chu Yingchan a lesson that day, what's the matter, don't you remember it at all? ”
"I am now." Lin Shouxi took out the jade plate in his hand.
This is the brand that he just snatched from the eldest prince, and when he turned around, he quickly wrote in his sleeve and engraved his name.
"Really?"
Luo Chu'e was dismissive.
Her figure disappeared in place, and the next moment appeared in front of Lin Shouxi, she handed out a palm and slapped it on Lin Shouxi's chest, Lin Shouxi snorted miserably, his internal organs turned over the river and the sea, and the blood arrow in his mouth spurted out, his body was like a kite with a broken string, slid out upside down, and fell heavily to the ground.
The jade plate was not in his hand in a blink of an eye, but fell into Luo Chu'e's palm.
"Do you think I'm blind?"
Luo Chu'e looked at the jade plaque, shook her head and said, "If you are given more time, you may indeed succeed, but it's a pity...... Alas, if you want to blame the person who gave you the name, such a complicated name is really difficult for you. ”
Lin Shouxi was bluffing, and the word Xi on the jade plate was obviously a few strokes off.
Luo Chu'e looked at the young man who fell to the ground, and wanted to crush the jade plaque with her hands, but suddenly found that a thunderbolt power poured into her limbs without warning, and she also snorted miserably, knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and lost control of her body.
This is the backlash of the power of the rules!
"How...... How could it be ......" Luo Chu'e's expression was shocked.
Ahead, Lin Shouxi slowly got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He took out another soul card and held it up, with the words 'Lin Shouxi' written on it in a dignified manner.
This is the soul card he stole from the butcher.
He had already accommodated himself into the rules.
Luo Chu'e knew that she was deceived, but it was too late.
In the long street where no one was, she was in place by the thunder and lightning power of the rules, her delicate body trembled, she shouted vigorously, and she screamed, but she couldn't stop Lin Shouxi's footsteps towards her.
