Chapter 159: The Witch
Luo Chu'e came to the back of the palace, crossed the long bridge like a giant snake of white bones, and looked into the wind, the huge pool of blood was gurgling and bubbling hot, and the blood pills like living spirits were soaked in the pool, hesitating to move forward, as if the front was a bloody hell opened up by Shura.
Luo Chu'e saw a scene that shocked her.
In front of the pool of blood, there stood a slimy cliff like intestines on both sides, and the huge Shura with angry eyes lived in it, who usually liked to stab the bloody man with a steel needle, but now, his huge body had been broken at the wrist, his ugly head was twisted crookedly, and the bones in his neck were stabbed obliquely out of the flesh, pale and terrifying.
These giant Shura apparently fought a fierce battle with something, but they were all killed, and the giant cliff where they originally rooked became their gallows.
Farther ahead, those gluttonous beasts with chest and abdominal tears also died in large numbers, and they who should have been rampant here were pierced through their bodies, stuck in a stone forest, and the viscous blood had already coagulated.
"Lin Shouxi ......"
Luo Chu'e repeated the name again, and the words were resentful.
These fierce spirits that she had kept in purgatory were her beloved pets, and now they had turned into miserable corpses, which was tantamount to slapping her cheeks and trampling on her dignity.
Looking up, there were many more words written in blood on the mountain wall, and those words were Luo Chu'e's words begging for mercy in the alley, and every word was scarlet and dazzling, making her recall the humiliation at that time.
Luo Chu'e knew that she had made a mistake again, and the purpose of her search for Lin Shouxi all over the city was to capture him and throw him into purgatory to torture, making him feel endless pain.
But she didn't expect that Lin Shouxi would go the opposite way and take the initiative to sneak into purgatory, but avoided her gaze.
"This is my country after all, where can you flee to?" Luo Chu'e calmed down and drifted forward.
The sky was a deep blood-red, the screams of yesteryear were gone, and the corpses and blood of demons were everywhere along the way.
Purgatory is vast and the terrain is complex, but for Luo Chu'e, who has single-handedly created all this, he is very familiar with it.
Luo Chu'e walked through the blood road, her long skirt was on the ground, but it was not stained with blood, she came to the highest point of the valley unimpeded, looked forward, and saw seven other peaks of different colors.
Purgatory is made up of eight giant peaks floating in a sea of fire, which are connected to each other by several long bridges of white bones.
The giant peak at Luo Chu'e's feet is called the Reincarnation Peak, where the souls of the undead country will undergo the test of reincarnation and regain their lives, while the other seven giant peaks are the real valley of sin, each peak symbolizes a sin, and the punished sinners will be sent to the corresponding giant peak, tortured until death, and then carried back to the reincarnation peak by the imp and thrown into the pool of blood.
She knew that Lin Shouxi was now hidden in one of the seven sinful peaks.
Luo Chu'e slowly swept over the seven peaks, guessing Lin Shouxi's thoughts, and when she looked at a certain giant peak, she suddenly stopped, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips:
"So you're here."
β¦β¦
Valley of Slaanesh.
Lin Shouxi, who had a thin face, held the Zhan Palace, standing calmly in the depths of a stone hall, behind him, a woman with a bewitching posture slowly knelt on the ground, clutching her trembling chest, she turned her head, her eyes were full of confusion and fear.
She was the executioner of the Valley of Slaanesh.
For two hundred years, she has always lived in this palace, executing people who bear the sin of slackers, she is very good at torturing people, like Luo Chu'e, she can change everything, she can manipulate the mind, and more vividly, she can always hook other people's desires to the extreme, and then turn this extreme desire into extreme pain, so that the punished person can die in unimaginable pain in a twisted and ugly appearance.
Strange to say, most of the people who were sent to other peaks for death were people who had been wandering in all corners of the immortal country all year round, and many of the people who were sent to her were fat people who didn't even like to go out of the door very much, and were always deep at home.
She absorbed the desires and pains of the tortured and turned them into her own nourishment, but today, a person came to the temple that she could not understand.
This boy was the most beautiful she had seen in three hundred years, and she wanted to use all her life to tease him and torture him, but she did not expect that he was not the sinner who had been escorted here, but had come to kill her.
At first, she laughed at his inadequacy, but soon she found that the illusion of desire, which she was most proud of, had failed.
Her illusion of desire is a graceful and gentle country, I don't know how many people are intoxicated and can't extricate themselves, but he is indifferent, and it only took two hours to break through.
Then, she drew the sword of sin and fought it to the death.
The sin swords here are very similar to the sin ring swords of the Holy Soil Temple, they should have been created by Luo Chu'e in imitation of the shape of the Holy Land Temple, they are pitch black and incomparably sharp, and they can easily cut through the tortured person along with their sins, but she can't hurt Lin Shouxi.
Gradually, she finally understood that this sword of sin was the sharpest and the most blunt and heavy, and that she could kill the guilty, but she could do nothing against the innocent.
In the sword-to-sword battle, she was defeated faster, and was pulled off the throne by Lin Shouxi with a full head of black silk. She also wanted to resist with spiritual spells, but was countered by Lin Shouxi with the Hehuan technique, indulging in illusions, and almost drowning, which was almost the biggest insult to her as a succubus. And when she asked the other party why her charm was useless to him, the answer she received made her heart twist even more:
"You're not pretty enough."
Now she fell to her knees, and when she looked at the boy again, the banter and smile she had seen at first sight turned into boundless horror, as if she was looking at a demon god descending from the sky.
"Is this the stone tablet that records the curse of Slaaneshin?"
After Lin Shouxi walked to the throne, he looked at the ancient stone tablet that was deeply embedded in the stone wall and was glowing, and asked.
"Who are you? What exactly are you going to do? She couldn't hear Lin Shouxi's question clearly, but just spoke in a trembling voice.
Lin Shouxi stared at the stone slab and was silent.
After killing the eldest prince that day and calculating Luo Chu'e, he didn't stay, changed his original plan, sneaked all the way to purgatory, killed thousands of Shura, walked across the long bridge of white bones, and arrived at this peak island in the sea of fire.
He came here to find the primordial stone tablet that recorded the curse of Slaanesh in Zhuo He's mouth, and rewrite its contents, so as to crack the curse mark imposed on Chu Yingchan at the root.
After fighting his way here and defeating the witch who guarded the place, known as the head of the succubus of the Immortal Kingdom, he finally got his wish and ascended to the throne and saw this stone tablet.
I don't know what the material of the stele is, the vicissitudes of life are mottled, the words on it are difficult to understand, and each side of the capital flashes with mysterious light.
"Tell me how to solve the monument, and I can spare your life."
Although Lin Shouxi saw this stone tablet, its inscription was too ancient and mysterious, and in such a short period of time, he couldn't decipher the words on it at all.
"You want to rewrite the Primordial Monument?" The witch looked surprised, "Arrogant...... This is a sacred object that belongs only to Her Majesty the Goddess, how can you touch it? β
Lin Shouxi didn't have the heart to listen to these nonsense, he walked up to the witch, grabbed her by the collar, picked her up from the wounded, and pulled her onto the stone throne, and directly pierced her shoulder with a backhand sword.
"If you don't want to say it, bring your secret with you." Lin Shouxi said tiredly.
He felt that the witch in front of him was a little similar to Su Hexue, maybe he was still the predecessor of the Pity Goddess family, but he didn't bother to care about anything along the way, he just wanted to end all this as soon as possible in the most brutal way.
The witch looked terrified.
The immortal country is not truly immortal, it is not easy for her to accumulate a body of cultivation, how can she return to the reincarnation of the blood pool?
"Don't-"
Just as Lin Shouxi drew his sword and stabbed her in the chest with an expressionless face, the witch lost her mind and immediately stopped it.
"You have to think clearly, if you kill me, you will also die, Your Majesty the Goddess will never let you go......" The witch gasped, and her pupils condensed into dots on her beautiful cheeks.
"I said, I don't want to hear this nonsense."
Lin Shouxi stabbed the sword into her left shoulder again, and said expressionlessly: "If you really don't want to speak, I won't force it, take your loyalty to the blood pool, maybe you can see your beloved majesty there in the future." β
The witch's graceful body writhed in pain, her red lips open, she kept exhaling, and the emotions in her eyes changed rapidly, and finally she was swallowed up by fear.
"Don't kill me...... I said, I'm willing to say......"
The moment Lin Shouxi's sword fell down her throat, the witch broke down and screamed.
The sword stopped.
The witch's throat moved, and she said cautiously: "Directly say that such a secret will be discovered by His Majesty, come, you look into my eyes, and I will tell you the secret with my eyes." β
The witch's words carried hypnotic power, and even if Lin Shouxi was vigilant, he was still slightly disturbed by his spirit, and involuntarily looked into the witch's eyes, waiting for her next.
Then, Lin Shouxi found out that he had been tricked.
At the moment when she met the witch's four eyes, the witch performed her life-fighting pupil technique like a ship, and in the depths of her pupils, countless flowers bloomed at the same time, converging into a colorful sea, engulfing Lin Shouxi in an instant.
The illusion of desire unfolds again.
Illusions are like dreams, once people are in a dream, even if they realize that they are dreaming, they usually can't remember what happened in reality, and they will drown if they are not careful.
The witch's pupil technique is the spell she presses at the bottom of the box, and every time she casts it, the consumption is huge, but you get what you pay for, which is equivalent to the Oiran in the spell she has learned, which can directly hit the depths of the other party's heart, and let him be trapped in the most unforgettable and reluctant picture for a long time.
This doesn't sound unusual, but over the years, the witch has tried every trick she has used.
Those who have been hit by the Hitomi technique will become a muddy walking corpse for a long time, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, as if they are rice worms in the gap between time and space, trying to absorb the remaining sweetness of memory.
The witch breathed a sigh of relief, and while sighing at her resourcefulness, she was racing against time to arrange her clothes, she was going to the palace to find Her Majesty, and begged her to come and collect this wicked young man.
But it was very open, and she was scared again.
She was about to step down from her throne when a hand was placed on her shoulder and pushed her back.
Lin Shouxi stared at her coldly, his expression had returned to clarity.
"You...... How do you ......"
The witch couldn't understand it, she obviously saw that the other party had been hit by the pupil technique, but ......
Lin Shouxi was indeed hit by the pupil technique, and he was dragged into a deep dream by the pupil technique, which was the dream of the Wu family's boudoir.
ββIt was raining outside the building, Xiao He, who had just finished freshening, was wrapped in a snow-white bathrobe, with wet hair, calling herself the eldest lady, laughing and joking with him, she sat on the table, took a pen and paper, secretly wrote the marriage book, and lied to him that it was a divine order.
This is the most beautiful scene in Lin Shouxi's memory, the old catastrophe has just passed, the new danger has not yet come, he squeezed in this short and beautiful gap, looking at the girl's soft face and the beautiful curve of the back, willing to eat, never tired of seeing, it is a time that belongs to them alone, none of them said anything, but they have secretly made a private decision for life.
"I've done this dream too many times in the past, and every time it's fake, how can it be real this time." Lin Shouxi looked into the witch's eyes, and his words were full of sadness.
What's more, after he quickly saw through the illusion, Xiao He in the illusion didn't want him to leave, and even took the initiative to untie the bow of the bathrobe, trying to tempt him with color, which made Lin Shouxi sober up faster.
Lin Shouxi felt that this pupil technique understood dreams, but did not understand Xiao He, although Xiao He had a glamorous and charming side, but she was essentially a little girl killed in the big demon mountain. When Xiao He wrote the marriage book, she had never eaten the elixir he refined, and she was naturally pure and unparalleled before she was enlightened, so she didn't understand these at all, how could she do such a seductive move?
Lin Shouxi easily broke through the illusion with his understanding of Xiao He.
The witch's heart trembled, and she wanted to perform her pupil spell again, but this time, the other party's eyes turned into a mirror, and her spell rebounded back, the witch screamed, and also fell into the deepest dream, in that dream, she was still a man, at that time he committed a serious crime, kneeling under Luo Chu'e's skirt, praying for her forgiveness, promised to give up everything to serve her, until the soul burned out, Luo Chu'e was in a good mood that day, and really gave him a chance, he was ecstatic and at the same time coma due to severe pain, When I woke up, I was already a woman.
Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why she has no way to charm Lin Shouxi.
Lin Shouxi looked down at the temple keeper of the Temple of Slaity, smashed her into the throne again, and woke her up, the witch exhausted her means, and was tortured to the point of delirium, and no longer had the fighting spirit.
"Your Majesty...... I'm going to kill you......" The witch said still stupidly, loyal.
Lin Shouxi knew that he must not delay any longer, Luo Chu'e might find out his whereabouts at any time, and when he arrived here, as soon as Luo Chu'e arrived, it meant that all his efforts would come to naught, he thought of Chu Yingchan's gentle smile, but his face became even more ruthless.
He directly used the soul-searching spell he had created that day.
He injected the witch's eyebrows with the Hehuan Sutra, forcibly broke her consciousness, and built a spiritual realm between the two, in the spiritual realm, the fire was burning, and the witch's body was suspended there, and her eyes were blank.
"How to rewrite the inscription?" Lin Shouxi immediately asked.
The witch's lips moved, and the answer was ready to come out, but at this juncture, the last thing she wanted to happen still happened.
The witch's godless eyes suddenly turned black.
Turning black means death.
When Lin Shouxi opened his eyes, he saw a slender flying blade stuck in the witch's neck, her neck was bleeding nonstop, and her last voice floated out like a gossamer: "Your Majesty." β
Her Majesty was already outside the door.
His Majesty did not save her, but pushed her into the abyss.
β¦β¦
"I'm not late, is I?"
Luo Chu'e walked into this stone hall, and the brilliance illuminated the dark hall.
Lin Shouxi looked at her.
Still a little bit off...... Even if he was mentally prepared, Lin Shouxi still felt regretful.
"Where did you go in this seat, it turned out that you came here to look for flowers and ask willows, Lin Gongzi is really good Yaxing." Luo Chu'e said with a smile.
In fact, she had already arrived, and she deliberately waited outside the door, just waiting for this critical moment to destroy his plan, this is a strategy to attack the heart, and people with weak Dao hearts can easily fall into unwillingness, doubt and resentment, and collapse directly.
Luo Chu'e looked at Lin Shouxi's composed-calm face, and smiled even more.
"No wonder the delicate master at home didn't go back, it turns out that Lin Gongzi likes this mouthful......" Luo Chu'e looked at the witch who died on the throne and said.
Lin Shouxi still didn't respond.
This round, he temporarily lost the upper hand, so he had to respond to all changes with no change, waiting for her next move.
Luo Chu'e walked past him and came to the slab of slaarity, and her words suddenly became cold: "What kind of trick do I have for you, it turns out that you want to rewrite this slate...... It's very easy to rewrite it, why do you ask her, just ask me, I'm not a stingy person, I can teach you now. β
As she spoke, she lifted her finger and landed on the stele.
"Stop!" Lin Shouxi drank hard, he guessed what Luo Chu'e was going to do.
Luo Chu'e was unmoved, she said to herself: "The complicated words on it are just a trick, what is needed to rewrite the stele is your will, it surrenders to you, and it will obey your will, you only need to hook it up with the spirit, and then with your pious heart...... Change it. β
Luo Chu'e stopped talking and began to rewrite the stele.
"Originally, I wanted to use you to lure out Mr. Gong, but Mr. Gong doesn't seem to want to see me, since he doesn't want to show up, I won't play with you two children, this game is ...... Let's end it today. Luo Chu'e showed a tired look.
"What did you change?" Lin Shouxi asked coldly.
"I didn't change anything, I just changed the original twelve hours to six hours at a time." Luo Chu'e said with a smile.
In the original plan, Chu Yingchan should have been able to hold out for two days, but Luo Chu'e moved like this, and a day later, Chu Yingchan was already on the verge of danger! I'm afraid one day is not enough time for him to rush back from here to that huge prison!
Luo Chu'e leaned over, looked at the witch's corpse with pity, and continued: "I was still thinking about how to play with you after winning the bet, but now I don't have to think about it...... You broke my witch toy, and when the time comes, I'll just turn you into a succubus and pay me back. β
When Luo Chu'e said this, she couldn't stop laughing, her laughter was breathtaking, making it difficult for Lin Shouxi to think calmly.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Luo Chu'e looked at him.
The moment Lin Shouxi tried to tamper with the stele but failed, in her eyes, the overall situation was decided.
Lin Shouxi closed his eyes, various countermeasures appeared and shattered in his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were as bright as a sword, and his words were amazing:
"I'm going to challenge you."
