I will Bury the Gods Chapter 8: : Sparrow

On the third day, Master Yun came on time.

During these three days, Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe practiced side by side, chatting occasionally.

Lin Shouxi looked very laid-back, and Xiaohe followed him quietly, meditating and practicing slowly, rather demurely, without any sense of urgency.

Wang Erguan is the most diligent and hardworking one. He wakes up the earliest and sleeps the latest. Every day when he eats, he always touches his stomach and sighs, saying that if he can persist in working so hard, he will definitely be able to do so in less than a month. lose weight.

His efforts were indeed effective. Wang Erguan's control over his qi was soaring with the naked eye, and he seemed to be the strongest among the four.

Ji Luoyang seemed to be the most steady and steady, and Lin Shouxi had also observed him practice boxing, even with his vision, it was difficult to pick out any flaws.

Ji Luoyang's attitude towards Lin Shouxi was quite friendly, and he even offered to help Lin Shouxi heal his injuries.

This once made Wang Erguan very nervous, after all, disabled people feel more secure.

But Lin Shouxi also declined.

"You can't practice, don't you feel lost at all?"

Xiaohe sat beside him, hugging her knees, her calves covered by cotton skirts were dazzlingly white.

"Of course I will be lost." Lin Shouxi said.

For the past two days, he seemed to be sloppy, but he was actually healing himself non-stop. The recovery speed of the injury was faster than he imagined, but it was still not enough.

"Where did you get hurt? I can help you bandage it." Xiao He said.

"It's an internal injury." Lin Shouxi said.

"Oh...then who hurt you so badly?" Xiaohe asked.

"A girl of my age." Lin Shouxi replied.

"Is she your enemy?"

"It's an enemy." Lin Shouxi said.

"Is it?" Xiaohe frowned and asked, "Could it be because of love and hatred."

"What are you thinking?" Lin Shouxi smiled wryly and shook his head.

Xiaohe also smiled, she suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "By the way, I went to wake you up that day. When you saw me, did you call me something?"

"Huh?"

Lin Shouxi was startled, and then remembered that he was a little dazzled at the time. He saw the fluttering white hair against the light, and mistook her for an old woman, so he called out...

"Did you call me at that time..." Xiaohe recalled briefly, and said after deliberation, "Uh...wife?"

"I..." Lin Shouxi didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"Is this what the old woman means?" Xiaohe lived in the mountains for a long time, and she didn't understand some words very well. She touched her cheek and asked, "Do I look very old?"

Lin Shouxi was about to clarify his misunderstanding at the time, but Ji Luoyang opened his eyes untimely, with a smile on his lips, and said: "This is not what the old woman meant. There is a word missing, and the meaning is very different." .”

"Ah? What does that mean?" Xiaohe asked simply.

"It means daughter-in-law." Ji Luoyang said bluntly.

Xiao Hetan opened her mouth slightly, and her immature cheeks burned instantly. She stroked her skirt and got up, said "frivolity", then ran back to the room with her head down, and hurriedly closed the door.

Lin Shouxi sighed, thinking that he couldn't explain clearly this time.

Ji Luoyang smiled gleefully.

In the afternoon of that day, Ji Luoyang also invited Lin Shouxi to practice martial arts, and Lin Shouxi agreed for the first time.

They just simply competed with their fists and kicks without using their true energy. Ji Luoyang knew that he was injured, so he wouldn't strike hard.

Wang Erguan was surprised to find that Lin Shouxi's moves were quite beautiful.

But if you can't drive your true energy, what's the use of beautiful moves.

"Flower boxing and embroidered legs." Wang Erguan dismissed it.

When Xiaohe came out of the house again, Wang Erguan leaned over and sarcastically said: "Miss Xiaohe, look, you just disappeared all morning, and your husband is about to run away with other men. "

Looking at Lin Shouxi and Ji Luoyang who were practicing their moves, Xiaohe bit her pink lips and snorted, "Who is his wife?"

But at dinner, they still ate together.

"Don't call me that again in the future." Xiaohe said solemnly.

"Okay." Lin Shouxi readily agreed.

The scene was suddenly a little quiet, Lin Shouxi turned around and found that Xiaohe was looking at him, his lips were pursed into a line, and his face was cold.

"Did I say something wrong again?" Lin Shouxi didn't think he was stupid before, but recently he began to doubt himself.

"That's right." Xiaohe snorted softly, got up and went back to the room.

Lin Shouxi pondered for a while, then looked at Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang, and asked humbly: "She is right, is she right or... right?"

Wang Erguan laughed loudly, while Ji Luoyang joked, "Didn't your elders teach you this before?"

"I did." Lin Shouxi said.

"How did you teach it?" Ji Luoyang asked curiously.

"Respond to all changes with the same." After Lin Shouxi finished speaking, he continued to eat in an orderly manner, practicing the teachings of his teacher.

Ji Luoyang was dumbfounded.

Lin Shouxi's strategy was effective. On the second day, Xiaohe continued to practice and eat with him as if nothing had happened.

When Ji Luoyang saw it, he jokingly called it 'a husband and wife don't have an overnight feud', and Xiao He gave him a fierce look.

The weather today is not very good, the clouds are overcast, and the sky is occasionally seen. Xiaohe sits on the edge of the cliff, watching the black strange bird hovering under the clouds, and his eyes follow it across the dry lake.

"I don't know what the guardian **** looks like." Xiaohe said: "My aunt said that the gods who can live to this day are definitely the overlords of the past. What a terrifying thing that might be able to kill a god... that thing, isn't it still watching us secretly?"

She leaned closer to Lin Shouxi.

"Maybe it's a big scary monster." Lin Shouxi said casually.

"Monsters are not scary at all." Xiaohe emphasized again: "The evil gods in the sea and the dragon corpses deep in the mud are the most terrifying enemies."

"Yes." Lin Shouxi thought that since he was the most terrifying enemy, everyone should know about it, so he made a silent note, then nodded.

"Well, especially the dragon corpses. It is obvious that the dragon clan has been extinct for so many years, but those bones linger and crawl out from the ground from time to time." Xiaohe said with lingering fear: "My aunt told me that the city wall outside the sacred mountain They have all been smashed by dragon corpses several times, and the most powerful one almost forced the patriarch's dharma body."

"Patriarch Dharma Body?" Lin Shouxi expressed curiosity.

"That's right, it's the dharmakaya of the ancestor of our human race." Xiao He said.

"The first ancestor... Has he actually lived to this day?" Lin Shouxi thought of Peng Zu described by Zhuangzi.

"Why don't you know this?"

"I really can't remember a lot of things. My brain is broken, you...you should be able to see it." Lin Shouxi said a little embarrassed.

"Mmm! I can see it." Xiaohe thought about the past few days and nodded seriously.

Lin Shouxi sighed cooperatively.

He didn't ask about the ancestor. Since the ancestor is also a well-known big man, there will always be a chance to find out in the future.

"Thank you." Lin Shouxi said suddenly.

"Thank you for what I did?" Xiaohe said.

"Thank you for helping me recall so many things." Lin Shouxi said.

"Then how can you thank me?" Xiaohe asked shyly.

"What do you want?"

"Well... then let me eat you." Xiaohe smiled.

"Change your request, I still want to live." Lin Shouxi said seriously.

"You are really boring." Xiaohe sighed.

"Yeah, that's why I'm tasteless when I think about it." Lin Shouxi said, "I'm thinking of you."

"You don't seem so boring anymore." Xiaohe laughed again.

They sat on the edge of the cliff and looked out into the wind, until the black bird and the lake were swallowed up by night.

Early the next morning, Master Yun appeared in the yard, still carrying the wooden sword on his back, but holding a copper wire birdcage in his hand, in which was a sparrow with bright wings.

He came to give them an assessment.

Master Yun succinctly stated the content of the assessment, which has two contents:

One is to let them pierce the wood with their true energy and see how much they can penetrate; the other is to stand in front of the cage and touch the copper wire of the cage with their hands, and the birds in the cage will judge each other by their calls root level.

"Is this little sparrow so smart?" Wang Erguan looked at the beautiful white bird in the cage and was amazed.

"This is the most precious bird of the Wu family. Its body is filled with the blood of the ancient white phoenix that has long been extinct." Master Yun said indifferently with arrogance: "If it wasn't for it being in a cage, with your just Words, it will disembowel you, peck your eyes, and devour your flesh and blood.”

The ancient white phoenix...

Wang Erguan was taken aback. He knew what this meant. Legend has it that in the ancient land, there was a dragon and phoenix inhabiting among the thunder clouds. Wherever it has passed, all evil spirits and gods are silent and dare not speak!

If most of the gods are just legends, then the White Phoenix is ​​at the end of the legends, it is the few black shadows that shrouded the world when the chaos first opened!

This small bird is actually its descendant. Although it has been born for tens of thousands of generations, it is still noble.

Wang Erguan put his palms together quickly, and called out a few words, hoping that the little sparrow would calm down.

Master Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense, he went out with the birdcage, and led them to an ancient tree.

The branches of the ancient tree are twisted, and the fallen leaves are withered, as if they have long since died.

Master Yun took out a slender iron needle and handed it to them, asking them to use their true energy to drive the needle to pierce the ancient tree in front of them.

Wang Erguan volunteered to start first, he took the iron needle, the iron needle fluctuated at first, but soon stabilized after he mastered the essentials, but although the ancient tree was dead, the trunk was still hard, and the iron needle was sharp After piercing an inch, it is difficult to move forward.

Wang Erguan looked at Master Yun tremblingly, and he was relieved when he saw Master Yun nodded.

Ji Luoyang also controlled the needle like him, and the final result was almost as different as Wang Erguan.

Then came Xiaohe, Xiaohe's zhenqi was softer, and he was methodical when driving the needle. Because it was too gentle, he lacked strength when piercing the tree, and the result was slightly inferior to the first two.

The last one is Lin Shouxi.

Lin Shouxi took the iron needle and thought about it for a while.

"If you can't do it, don't force it, lest your injury worsen." Wang Erguan said with a smile.

Ji Luoyang stared at him with a solemn expression.

Xiaohe clenched her fists, as if to cheer him up.

Wang Erguan's smile quickly froze on his face.

Because the iron needle actually flew up.

"It can't be that you are helping him cheat." Wang Erguan looked at Xiaohe.

"Shh, don't disturb him." Xiaohe stared back.

"Isn't he useless?" Wang Erguan couldn't accept it.

"He was just injured, and he will be worse than you when he is healed. You should not take advantage of other people's danger in the future." Xiaohe protected Lin Shouxi very much.

Wang Erguan looked at the needle with trepidation. Fortunately, Lin Shouxi's injury had a great impact on him. Although the needle touched the tree, it failed to penetrate.

Looking at the flimsy needle and thinking about Lin Shouxi's injury, Master Yun once again felt a sense of pity.

He thinks this is a malleable talent, but it's a pity that accepting the inheritance of the gods is a matter of one month, and time will not wait for him.

The emotion of pity is bland and meaningless.

Immortal Yun hung the copper wire birdcage in the air, and the little bird with white feathers and black pupils chirped twice, which sounded harmless to humans and animals.

The four disciples touched the birdcage one after another.

As expected of the person selected by the guardian, whether it is Wang Erguan, Ji Luoyang or the weak and petite Xiaohe, this little bird dripping with the blood of the white phoenix is ​​not small, and they all give high praise .

Among them, the loudest call was actually Wang Erguan.

The depression just now was swept away, and Wang Erguan was so proud that he couldn't help grinning again, and looked at Lin Shouxi provocatively.

Lin Shouxi noticed that although the little bird had a loud voice and spoke highly of them, its pupils always had a look of contempt.

That is the condescending contempt of blood.

For some reason, Lin Shouxi resisted and hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Xiaohe sensed his strangeness~IndoMTL.com~It's all right. "Lin Shouxi shook his head.

Wang Erguan did not forget to sneer: "You won't be frightened by this white eye... the white pupil fairy?"

Lin Shouxi did not answer.

His heart throbbed, and he felt something vaguely.

As if being secretly drawn by fate, he unknowingly walked in front of it, and touched the cool cage with his hand.

The throbbing fell into place.

As if the flesh and blood were a pool, this throbbing sank into it, and the sound of armor cracking was heard, causing all the bones in the body to tremble together.

Then, the move of the black phoenix sword script with white pupils was like a nameless mist, rising from the bottom of his heart, curling up in his chest, like a black sparrow spreading its wings, enveloping him.

Lin Shouxi felt that he was standing on a vast white snow field, surrounded by darkness and no one was around. Its sword is covered with green rust.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the surroundings were quiet.

It was Wang Erguan's laughter that broke the calm.

Master Yun looked at Lin Shouxi, shook his head, and the pity in his eyes disappeared.

The white sparrow in the cage didn't sing or sing, as if it was extremely contemptuous of the young man in front of it.

But only Lin Shouxi can see clearly that the contempt in Bai Que's pupils has long since disappeared, replaced by deep fear!

It's like a guilty minister who dares to kneel down and dare not raise his head when he meets the king, let alone speak out!

Lin Shouxi's hand left the cage, turned and left.

When Master Yun went to lift the cage, the white sparrow let out a belated cry.

There was a flash of light and thunder.

There was a startled light that fell on the old tree before, and the old tree was instantly destroyed, and the scorched smoke billowed.
