Chapter 245: Wishes

The waning moon shone on the black cliff, and the red-haired and black-robed goddess stood on the top of the cliff, looking at the mountains from afar, silent.

Behind her were countless moving torches, and the dark black cliffs were illuminated as bright as day, but if these killers were agile and well-trained, they were doomed to nothing.

This operation, Si Duxue planned for several days, trying to be foolproof, but he didn't admit that he still pounced.

Eight red tails flutter in the night sky.

He Yaoqin came behind her and shook her head regretfully.

"It would be nice if the master had done it earlier." He Yaoqin said.

"Are you blaming me?" Si Duxue asked rhetorically.

"The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple just ...... Confused. He Yaoqin said.

"They need to recuperate, and so do I." Si Duxue replied succinctly.

He Yaoqin lowered her head, she felt that even if she was injured, the enemy was heavier, and she could take a risk...... Scared? Of course, she only hid these thoughts in her heart and didn't dare to ask more.

"Rest assured, there is always a boundary on the earth, and those in shackles will not be able to escape, and when they are exhausted, it will be the end of the road." Si Duxue looked into the distance and said lightly.

Meantime.

Lin Shouxi and the others disappeared into the dense forest again.

Escaping on land will leave traces, so that Si Duxue can pursue, and they have learned from the past, and still choose to take the waterway.

Logging is a boat, and the water splits the waves. In the night, the three of them crowded on a makeshift raft, Lin Shouxi sat in the front, Xiao He sat in the back, Gong Yu was protected by them in the middle, they were like birds flying in the water, gliding across the cold Qiu River, disappearing into the depths of the winding mountains.

Xiao He wore a sandal, hugged his knees, sat on the raft, leaned back against his master, looked at the speeding mountains and the silent starry sky, and asked softly: "Is this the will of heaven?" ”

"Maybe."

Lin Shouxi was silent for a while and said.

It was as if the days of siege were coming to an end, and the general in the city had already yielded, waiting for him to come in with his spear, and then a meteor would fall from the sky, and everything would be terminated at the most critical moment.

"It seems that it was providence that allowed Xiao He to escape." Lin Shouxi quipped to ease the depressing atmosphere.

Xiao He listened, and was really enraged, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Escaped?" When I bit your mouth, I didn't notice that your mouth was so hard, and now the more you bluff, the more miserable it will be when you are embarrassed. ”

"Xiao He is so confident?"

"Of course."

"Chu Chu was as provocative as you at the beginning."

"So what? bullied a papier-mΓ’chΓ© fairy who has been pampered since childhood, and thought he was invincible in the world? ”

On the raft, the two habitually argued, and their words became more and more out of place, until they said that they wanted to continue the unfinished battle on the spot, and they realized that Gongyu was caught between them.

That's the end of the fight.

Gong Yu listened quietly to their bickering, and there was no wave on his face. At the meandering part of the river, the water was even more turbulent, and in order to stabilize her body, she had to hug Lin Shouxi's waist.

Xiao He didn't speak again.

The night wind on the river was strong, pouring into the girl's loose white robe, blowing all over the body, she raised her head, looked up at the stars, gradually, the stars buckled on the night seemed to begin to spin, sleepiness gradually surged, she turned sideways, wrapped around Gong Yu's slender waist, and fell asleep for a while.

Lin Shouxi didn't sleep, he always maintained a high degree of tension, the sword scripture helped him avoid the reef at the bottom of the sea, and there would be Jiao in the depths of the river, but before he could raise his head, he was killed by Lin Shouxi's sword, turned into a pool of red blood, and was thrown away by the waves.

Eventually, the raft entered a steady current.

Lin Shouxi felt the soft and condensed touch on his back, thinking that his ancestor was also asleep, and was about to turn around to look, when he suddenly felt something close to his ear, making a sound like two birdsongs.

Lin Shouxi's heart was shocked.

These two birdsongs are exactly the same as the ones he heard on the mountain tonight, there are no birds in the black cliff, so he was alert, and fled from the secret passage of the black cliff to the bottom of the mountain with his ancestor and Xiao He.

He thought it was the enemy's bird, and accidentally chirped the leaking wind, but he didn't think about it......

"Does that sound familiar?" Gong Yu asked.

"So it was the ancestor who reminded me?" Lin Shouxi realized that the ancestor had been staring at the movements of the black cliff.

Gong Yu hummed lightly, but said, "That's not what I'm talking about." ”

"That's ......" Lin Shouxi was stunned for a moment, and then, he quickly remembered one thing - that night, after he left, he was still not at ease, afraid that his ancestor would find the small hole in the window, so he hid in the corner and left after pretending to make a few bird calls.

Gong Yu could feel that the back of the young man in his arms stiffened.

"Sure enough, it's you." Gong Yu said lightly.

Lin Shouxi was silent.

"Did you see them all?" Gong Yu asked again.

"Hmm......" Lin Shouxi didn't hide it.

"Surprised?"

"Sort of."

"That'...... Is it good-looking? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Everything hidden in the dim light poured into his mind, he was deliberately forgetting, but at this moment it was clearer in the palace language's questioning, almost delicate, he couldn't answer this question, until there was a faint laughter behind him, he realized that this was the ancestor teasing himself...... She didn't seem to care about it at all.

"Do you miss your master so much?" Lin Shouxi didn't want to answer that question, so he took the initiative to ask.

The smile on Gong Yu's face gradually faded, she opened her cold lips, and asked, "Don't you want your master?" ”

"Yes."

"Me too."

Lin Shouxi said: "We shouldn't think the same way. ”

Gong Yu was silent for a moment and whispered, "Maybe." ”

The conversation ended, Lin Shouxi looked down at the water, the flowing water flew by, reluctant to give up day and night, he felt the lonely embrace behind him, and after a while, he spoke up and said, "Mourn." ”

Gong Yu didn't respond, he only hugged the young man in his arms tighter, the barrier between Shizu Mountain was almost flattened, and he could hear the other party's heartbeat through the noisy river, if Lin Shouxi raised his head at this time, he could even see the deep guilt in his long eyes of Qiushui.

But he couldn't look up.

The raft accelerated sharply, swooped down, and when it looked up, there was a silver line in front of it, which was a waterfall.

The raft is swooping down towards the Cliff Falls.

When Xiao He woke up, he found that he was flying in mid-air, Lin Shouxi held Gong Yu in one hand, grabbed her hand with the other, and looked down with a cold face. The raft fell behind and smashed into pieces on the wide and turbulent waterfall, and the flowing water below was separated by Lin Shouxi's sword and edict, wrapping them, but Rao was so, and when they came ashore, the clothes of the three were still soaked.

After lighting a bonfire and ironing their robes, the three of them continued their journey together, walking along the riverbank, the Milky Way in the sky guiding them.

At first, Gong Yu still wanted to be strong, wanted to cross the mountains and mountains alone, tried several times, almost tore his clothes, and finally gave up, obediently lying on Lin Shouxi's back, wrapping his neck, and letting him lead him over the steep place.

Three hundred years seems to be a big dream, Gong Yu often feels that she has returned to her childhood, of course, her childhood has no such memories, such a picture can only be seen in a groggy dream after exhaustion...... She couldn't remember if she had ever had such a dream.

She was already in the Great Perfection of the Divine Realm, cold and proud, but in the end she still needed the protection of her master.

Even if three hundred years have passed, even if the master is reincarnated and no longer knows each other, he still guards himself as carefully as he did when he was a child.

It should have been my turn to protect him as he grows......

Split thorns and climb over mountains.

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He stopped in unison.

Gong Yu seemed to realize something, and gently lifted the head buried in the young man's shoulder, and looked into the distance.

The East is white.

Walking through the winding mountain road, when arriving at the legendary Guigu Mountain, it is already afternoon, Guigu Mountain is not high, it is hidden behind a hidden dense forest, the erected high wall stretches out from between the mountain walls, rises around the mountain, a steep and lonely vermilion wooden building is built according to the mountain, the magnificent mountain gate is like a pile of gold and silver, but the gate leads to the same brilliant palace, but a dark cave.

This is the cave house of Jingyezi, called Qianji Cave.

There is only one Taoist boy who looks quite immature guarding the Thousand Machine Cave.

The Taoist boy waited early on the mountain road to greet him.

"You know we're coming?" Lin Shouxi asked Daotong.

"I've been waiting for you for one hundred and thirty-two days." Dao Tong replied.

"Jing Yezi knew we were coming a hundred and thirty-two days ago?" Xiao He asked in surprise, thinking that this was really a master in the world.

Dao Tong shook his head and said, "No, Master asked me to wait here every day, no matter who I waited, I told him that I have been waiting for you for a long time, so that it can reflect his old man's ingenuity...... I'm tired of waiting. ”

"If you say that, your master won't blame you?" Lin Shouxi asked with a smile.

"He's too old, he's going to die at any time, it could be today, it could be tomorrow, if he blames me, then after he dies, there will be no one to help him collect his body, it's not worth it." Dao Tong replied seriously.

Dao Tong led them into the Qianji Cave to see Jing Yezi.

Qianji Cave is not as desolate as it looks outside, the structure inside is extremely complex, like a beehive extending in all directions, when entering the Qianji Cave, six people in the cave standing in different directions, tall, short, fat and thin are not the same, turned their heads at the same time, Mu Ne said: "I am Jing Yezi." ”

Voices echoed in layers through the hole.

Faced with this strange scene, Lin Shouxi's expression did not change.

Dao Tong glanced at Lin Shouxi, and seeing that his face did not change, and he felt bored, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, today is not a mortal, don't make a fool of yourself." ”

All six retreated at the same time.

Dao Tong led them to the deepest part of the cave, in the depths of the cave there was only a stone table and a stone chair, and the old man in a gray robe was lying on the edge of the table, looking down at something, as if he had not drunk water for many days, and his lips were cracked into countless pieces.

He raised his head and looked at the white-clothed young man at the head, and a hint of clarity flashed in his cloudy eyes.

Lin ...... Shouxi? Jing Yezi recognized his description and said: "Eighteen years ago, if I had enough courage, I should have gone to the dead city, took you out, and took you as an apprentice, but I was timid, I told Lin Qiuyi everything I knew, and let him bear this fate for me...... I thought I wouldn't see you again in my lifetime. ”

"Lin Qiuyi?"

"That's your old master's name, didn't he tell you?"

"Nope."

Lin Shouxi shook his head, this was the first time he knew his master's name.

"He took you as an apprentice, but he hid so many things from you......" Jing Yezi sighed and asked, "How did you find here?" ”

"Master left me a notebook with your story, and I encountered a problem that was difficult to solve, so I wanted to try my luck and see if there was an answer here, sir." Lin Shouxi said truthfully.

Jing Yezi nodded, as if he had already known about the note, and did not ask. He raised his head with difficulty, but his eyes were attracted by the white-robed woman standing behind him, and a look of surprise appeared in his cloudy pupils.

"Can't even you get rid of fate?" Jing Yezi obviously knew her identity, and her voice was full of despair.

"Does the old gentleman have any advice?" Gong Yu asked.

Jing Yezi was silent for a long time, and finally, he said in a voice of vicissitudes: "Lord Gate, you are far stronger than me, in this world, except for yourself, no one can dominate your life, as long as the Dao heart does not fall, there will always be a time to see the sun." ”

"Yes......"

Gong Yu's always cold eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Lin Shouxi sighed softly.

He didn't have much hope, but when his hope really failed, he inevitably regretted it.

No one can give them an answer, not even the best fortune teller in the world, who can only say a word of encouragement and comfort in a deep voice.

Lin Shouxi looked at this old friend of the master and asked if he needed to help him, Jing Yezi shook his head and rejected his kindness. Lin Shouxi was afraid that Si Duxue would chase after him and burden him, so he was about to say goodbye and leave, but Jing Yezi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"This was written to me by your master six years ago after he returned from the city of Doom, and I think you should read it." Jing Yezi said.

Lin Shouxi frowned.

He opened the envelope and took out a yellowed piece of paper, the familiar handwriting came into view, and the first sentence on it shocked Lin Shouxi:

I met King Wen of Zhou.

……

Evil Spring Prison, second floor.

The goddess opened the door of the iron prison, and behind the gate was a dark pool of water, and in the center of the pool, there was a huge object, which was blurred, and only the vertical pupils like a crack in the center could be seen.

Mu Shijing and Chu Yingchan came here after all, the difference is that Shi Yirao came with them.

Bai Zhu originally wanted to come, but when she saw the first white-eyed monster at the door of the prison, she was so frightened that she ran away, and she didn't dare to go in, Chu Yingchan had to carry her back to the Temple of Ignorance and let her wait for them to come back there, Bai Zhu obediently agreed, she looked at the Heavens and Buddhas and Demons who ignored the Temple, and suddenly felt that they were a lot cuter.

"That's what it is...... May the ghosts? ”

Mu Shijing looked at Shi Yirao with inquiring eyes.

"The Evil Springs Prison is not under my control." Shi Yirao didn't know much about this, but she thought about it and said, "But a hundred years ago, when it opened its eyes, the wish made by the Harvest Goddess here was indeed fulfilled. ”

"What did she wish?" Mu Shijing asked.

"She said she wanted to see His Majesty." Shi Yirao replied.

Ahead.

Admiration for the goddess standing in front of the black pool, the back of the red-haired and black-robed figure seemed to be ready to melt into the deep and cold pool water, I saw her take out a copper bell from her arms, hold it in front of her forehead, shake it, and chant a spell in her mouth at the same time.

At the sound of the bell, ripples rippled in the center of the black pool.

The eye hidden in the viscous pool poked out of the water, its crystalline surface was no different from the human eye, except that the pupils were slender and more like snake eyes, and it was surrounded by a layer of wrinkled eyelids, which looked very old.

It is said that this is the pupil cut off by an old god.

The goddess cut her hand, the blood flowed into the pool water, her pupils squirmed, and she sucked the blood greedily, and a layer of blood mist coagulated on her pupils.

"Make your wish."

Admiring the goddess, she looked back, looked at Mu Shijing and Chu Yingchan, and said weakly: "This wish must be related to the people close to you, otherwise it will not be fulfilled." ”

"Why did you give me such a big gift for no reason?" Mu Shijing asked.

"It's not for nothing." Admire the goddess and said, "You have discovered the secret of the dragon corpse's raw flesh, which is of great significance to the human race, and the Holy Land Temple should thank you for the human race, which you deserve." ”

"Such a simple reason?" Mu Shijing was still skeptical.

"It seems that you don't know the significance of your discovery yet." Admiring the soft smile of the goddess, she said, "If Your Majesty is awake, He will definitely give you whatever you want." ”

"Anything you want?" Mu Shijing frowned and asked, "Including you?" ”

admired the goddess for a moment, and then smiled and shook her head: "The goddess of the sin ring only serves the sin precept goddess and only serves His Majesty the emperor." ”

"Really...... Your Majesty, male and female? Mu Shijing became more and more curious.

The goddess did not answer, but solemnly corrected: "Not our majesty, but the majesty of the world." ”

"Okay, let's make a wish, in a while, it will close its eyes, and the next time it opens its eyes, it will be a hundred years later." The goddess smiled and said, "If you have someone you care about, don't hesitate any longer." ”

Mu Shijing and Chu Yingchan glanced at each other.

Chu Yingchan's eyes flashed, as if she had something to say, but Mu Shijing grabbed her hand, shook her head, and said, "I'll come." ”

Chu Yingchan nodded lightly.

Mu Shijing walked to the front of the black pool, folded his hands, closed his eyes, his lips moved, and made a wish sincerely.

After that, the strange pupil dived back into the pool.

"In this way, will the wish come true?" Mu Shijing asked.

"Yes." The goddess replied in the affirmative.

Shi Yirao led them out of the Evil Spring Prison.

The goddess did not keep them any longer, and allowed them to ignore the temple as time passed.

When they walked away, the corners of the goddess's mouth finally provoked a smile.

She lied to them.

This monster is indeed a wish ghost, and it is true that it opens its eyes once every hundred years, but even Shi Yirao doesn't know that the pupils of the wish ghost have two sides, and when it opens the front side, it can help people fulfill their wishes, and when it opens the back side, it will devour the wishes of the wishers.

This time, it's the back that opens open.

Admire the goddess and know that Mu Shijing's wish must be related to Lin Shouxi, Xiao He or the master of the Daomen, no matter which one it is, it can satisfy her.

"Sister, this is the last thing my sister can do for you." Admiring the goddess, she said faintly at the empty night.

Ignore the temple.

The door of the temple was closed.

"What did you wish?" Chu Yingchan asked Mu Shijing nervously.

"What do you want me to promise? Lin Shouxi? Xiao He? Or is it a master? Mu Shijing asked rhetorically.

Chu Yingchan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't answer for a while, in her heart, relatives have no priority and priority, they are all equally important, so she wants to know what Mu Shijing chose.

"I didn't think about anything." Mu Shijing said coldly.
