I will Bury the Gods Chapter 43: :Absurd dream
The secret room of the Wu family is hidden underground in the main hall.
Xiaohe pushed open the door of the secret compartment.
Holding a lamp, I walked down the winding stairs. The foggy darkness was dispelled by the lamp and closed behind me.
From a distance, Lin Shouxi heard the shrill cry of a bird.
"Some servants of the Wu family often rumor that there are gophers and ground bats haunting the house, and even more that it is haunted, ghosts seeking revenge, etc... But it is not true, the noise is coming from here."
When approaching the underground darkroom, Xiaohe raised the lamp in his hand, and the dimmed light illuminated the surrounding picture clearly.
Depressive and cruel picture.
There are countless iron cages in the basement. Most of the iron cages are rusty. Many of the iron cages are stained with blood that has not been wiped off. Countless birds are locked in iron cages, but it is difficult for Lin Shouxi to recognize them from their appearance. They are gone.
These birds did not know what they had eaten, and they exuded a rotten smell all over their bodies. Some had multiple legs, some had weird and redundant wings, and some had eyes under their feathers, but they were all without exception. , all lying on their stomachs as if their bones had been broken, screaming with difficulty and pain, as if many beaks had been cut off to prevent some birds from pecking through the cage.
This is bird purgatory.
After Lin Shouxi looked at it for a while, he couldn't bear to look any more. He looked towards the middle of the stone room.
In the middle is something similar to the alchemy furnace outside, but the three legs of this furnace are pitch black, and the body is also covered with a **** cloth airtight.
"Here...what the **** is it?" He also felt a little sick.
Not only because of the torture and weird appearance of these birds, he also vaguely felt that there was a smell in the air that he had never heard before, which came from an unknown substance.
"This is mental turbidity." Xiaohe said.
"God turbid?"
Xiaohe once mentioned that she was confused, but she was unable to elaborate on the time constraints.
In the evil pool, the monsters formed by the evil energy emitted by the sealed monsters are named Yaozhuo, but... what is Shenzhuo? Is it God’s resentment?
"Spiritual turbidity is a kind of liquid extracted from the rock formations of the earth. It is not rare, and it contains extremely terrifying power. This kind of power is countless times more corrosive than true energy. Most people swallow it directly. They will all die by dissolving their bones.”
As Xiaohe said, he led him to a cabinet made of glazed glass, in which was sealed gray-white mucus, which looked very cloudy, with white froth dots in it, as if microbes were crawling inside. climb up.
Lin Shouxi felt a sense of resistance in his heart when he looked at these white liquids called Shenzhuo.
"Then these birds..." Lin Shouxi understood, "Can they dilute the demonic nature in the turbid mind?"
"Well, you're very smart." Xiaohe praised, but the sadness in her eyes was even heavier: "Human monks covet the power in the turbidity, and after various experiments, they found a way - to pour it into the body of the beast."
"It's like filtering water mixed with silt to make it clear. The bones of wild animals are the filter between the sand and the water. Their bones will be dissolved by the turbidity, but the turbidity will also change. Be gentler." Xiao He looked at the mutated birds and said softly.
"Do you need so many birds?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Well, at least hundreds of birds with a certain bloodline are needed to extract a shot of mental turbidity." Xiao He said: "That little white sparrow that looks smart should be used to filter the last time. .”
The little white bird twitters every day, showing its arrogance to others, without knowing it.
"Will it become very strong after drinking Shenzhuo?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"It will awaken extraordinary power, but it will also have negative effects." Xiaohe pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said: "The animal nature of wild beasts will also be accumulated in the spirit, they are like vengeful spirits, they will follow God The turbidity enters your body and becomes a real gangrene."
"Will people gain demon nature because of this?" Lin Shouxi understood a little bit.
"Yes." Xiaohe said: "People can control this part of the demon nature to make themselves stronger, or they may be swallowed by the demon nature and become a beast."
The strange birds chirped one after another, screaming mournfully. They had lost their bones and could not soar again in this life.
"Are there many people doing such a thing?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Yes, but this matter cannot be put on the table, at least the three major sacred mountains do not allow it." Xiaohe said solemnly, "But according to my aunt, there will still be some sect drinking gods hidden in the deep mountains and old forests." Practicing turbidity, naming the sect after the shape of a wild beast.”
"Named after the shape of a beast?"
"Yes, I heard that a demon sect named Youlin Sect has been rampant in recent years... In short, they hardly have a fixed residence, and they live in the mountains and forests like wild animals."
Lin Shouxi nodded, and silently wrote down the name.
"What's behind that iron door?"
Lin Shouxi noticed that there was a dark tunnel on the right, and at the end of the tunnel was an iron gate.
"That leads to another secret room. That secret room was dug temporarily. As for what is hidden inside..." Xiao He looked at Lin Shouxi and blinked, "You can guess it without telling me. right?"
"Is it a dragon corpse?"
"Yes." Xiaohe snapped his fingers and said, "I'll take you to have a look."
After passing through the stone path, the two came to the iron gate. Xiao He took out a key and opened the heavy iron gate.
The huge bones seen in the evil pool pressed into the pupil again.
The red light in the skull has been extinguished, and the remaining wings and severed limbs are all curled up together, as if they were still embryos in eggshells.
But even so, it still fills up this huge newly opened secret room. White and sharp bone spurs were touching the walls, making people feel that the walls made of colored glass would be pierced by paper at any time.
The weapons of the Wu family combined with Master Yun's immortal cultivation, and finally subdued the red-eyed dragon corpse. It is now soaked in this huge container bounded by glazed glass, which is filled with divine turbidity to prevent it Heart regeneration.
The turbid water, which claims to be able to corrode all bones, has no effect on the dragon corpse. Instead, it washes away the dirt on the surface, making that section of the corpse look like new and dazzlingly white.
Lin Shouxi walked around the secret room, admiring this majestic ancient life, like admiring precious ancient sculptures.
A long time ago, this dragon corpse should be a general of a certain dragon king, fighting and killing on his behalf. The presence?
Then, Lin Shouxi thought of the legends about dragons in the past world.
In the legends he knows, the dragon is the head of a scaled insect, able to be quiet and bright, thin and giant, ascending to the sky at the vernal equinox, diving into the abyss at the autumnal equinox, and a five-clawed holy beast with a body like a long python, which can soar through the clouds and ride the fog , Si Xingyun spreads rain.
Do dragons like that exist in this world?
Lin Shouxi's heart beat faster, and he felt more and more that many seemingly bizarre myths and anecdotes were probably spying on another world... All these are not legends, they all happened on the other side of the world. Go!
After walking around, Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe left the secret room together.
After the iron gate was locked, Lin Shouxi suddenly found two interlaced swords painted on the gate.
"What is this?" Lin Shouxi asked casually.
"This one..." Xiaohe looked at it for a while, and said, "These are the two legendary swords, one is called the sword of killing clan, and the other is called the sword of absurdity. No one knows what they are. They don't really exist, but these two swords are used as totems in many places where the seals are sealed."
"It's a legend again..."
Lin Shouxi couldn't help feeling that there are so many secrets in this world.
After walking out of the stone path, Xiaohe came to another iron cage. There were many birds that hadn't been fed in this iron cage. , Feathers flying around.
"Come on, give me a hand." A smile finally appeared on Xiaohe's pretty face, "Help me move this cage out together."
"Okay."
Of course Lin Shouxi would not refuse. He looked at the other cages and asked, "What about them?"
"They... can't survive." Xiaohe pursed her thin lips slightly, "Throw the fire in later, the Wu family... doesn't need this kind of place anymore."
Lin Shouxi was silent.
He grabbed one side of the iron cage, and Xiaohe grabbed the other side of the iron cage. The two lifted the huge iron cage and moved it up the spiral steps to the ground. The birds inside were frightened and screamed. Stop, like chasing ducks.
Back on the ground, Xiaohe ordered a few maids to fetch oil and poured it on.
The bones of those mutated birds have been corroded, and they are tortured day and night, and death is the best destination.
In the deep secret room, the flames burned up, turning all evils into thick smoke.
It's getting late.
Going out along the straight road of the Wu family hall, you can see a row of neat steps, and the flags and flags on both sides of the steps are blowing in the wind.
After the rain, the turbid sunset paints the sky, the setting sun is hidden behind the clouds, and the Wu family behind is as quiet as if forgotten by the earth.
The two moved the iron cage to the lakeside. The lake was dry, and they seemed to be standing on a cliff. The dry lake below was filled with ravines, and the center was filled with thick fog. over there.
The grand ceremony of following the gods is tomorrow. In the past world, tomorrow is exactly the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xiaohe threw the sword to Lin Shouxi, Lin Shouxi took it, drew the sword, and cut off the lock. The iron door of the birdcage opened, and flocks of birds crowded towards the outside of the cage, as if jumping off a cliff.
The flock of birds flew away with a clatter, turning into countless black spots among the clouds, and large pieces of feathers fell down, like a snowfall.
There are only a few injured birds left in the cage.
Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe healed their injuries, held them in their hands and tossed them, like throwing a small ball into the sunset.
Some of the mighty flocks of birds flew far away, some hovered in the sky, and some stopped on the cornices of Wu's house.
"Xiaohe really has immeasurable merit." Lin Shouxi said with a smile.
"Things hurt their kind."
"Is Xiao He also a sparrow spirit?"
"I am your master!" Xiaohe said angrily, she narrowed her eyes, and said again: "I can do more meritorious things."
"What?"
"Put you in this cage."
"Miss is so cruel."
"Well, so don't make me angry, I'm...very cruel." Xiaohe said softly.
The two sat by the lake, just like when they first met.
Xiaohe leaned lightly on Lin Shouxi's shoulder, the cool breeze blew, and the complicated thoughts in recent days seemed to be blown away by the wind. Pass.
Night falls with them.
She was in a daze for a long time, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
She remembered her aunt's death.
Xiaohe knew that day would come, but when her aunt really died, she was still unable to suppress her grief, and her forced indifference was finally overwhelmed by her emotions.
Lin Shouxi knew what he should do, he gently put his arms around Xiaohe's shoulders, and embraced this young lady of the Wu family who was regarded as a monster by others in his arms. The night is a good curtain, the girl didn't struggle, she put her frailty in the shadow of the night.
Tree shadows flicker.
After a long time, Xiaohe raised his head and looked at Lin Shouxi with reddish eyes.
Lin Shouxi rubbed her hair and said, "I know, the wind and sand are too strong tonight."
Xiao Hexue's cheeks bulged slightly, her expression gloomy.
"Shall I carry you back?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"People will see it." Xiaohe said.
Saying this is not a rejection.
Lin Shouxi naturally crouched down a little bit, Xiaohe still lay on his back after hesitation. Different from that escape, this time he could clearly feel the softness of the girl's body. Her arms were crossed in front of him, her head rested on her neck, and Rulan's breath was rising and falling on her cheeks, as if someone was scratching her with fine feathers. .
Lin Shouxi supported her thigh and carried her back into the building.
"Lin Shouxi, don't get me wrong, Miss Ben is not weak, but just testing your loyalty."
After being put down, Xiaohe explained sternly.
"Well, I know everything." Lin Shouxi said.
"What do you know?" Xiaohe frowned, always feeling that there was something in his words.
Lin Shouxi didn't answer, but just asked: "Where do I sleep tonight?"
"Where do you want to sleep?" Xiao He asked.
"As the eldest lady's servant, should I not leave my constant companion?" Lin Shouxi asked seriously.
"Okay, you are an upright gentleman, stop pretending, and finally start to show your true colors?" Xiaohe said with a snort.
"I'm worried about your safety." Lin Shouxi defended.
"Stop talking nonsense and sleep in the stables tonight." Xiaohe said angrily with her hands on her hips.
Lin Shouxi didn't dare to make mistakes.
"Okay, I've arranged a room for you, it's downstairs, here's the key." Xiaohe took out a brass key and handed it to him.
Lin Shouxi took it.
Xiaohe continued: "I will remove the remaining seals for you first."
"Miss Lao is here." Lin Shouxi said.
"Just call me Xiaohe in private." She said.
"Okay, Junior Sister."
"...Hmph, I'm making progress." Xiaohe always felt that he was deliberately angry with himself, "From now on, you should call me Missy. If you dare to call me Miss Ben, I will beat you."
"Xiaohe was cute when she was a junior sister." Lin Shouxi said with emotion.
"That's to trick an ignorant brother like you." Xiaohe said lightly.
Lin Shouxi walked towards the bed, and was about to lie down, but was stopped by Xiaohe.
"That's my bed, who allows you to lie down?" Xiao He scolded.
"But last night..."
"Last night, I thought you were seriously injured, so I just showed mercy, but I won't allow it today."
"Then where do I lie?"
"On the ground."
“…”
The floor of this small attic is made of expensive materials, but lying on the ground is ultimately indecent.
Lin Shouxi was lying flat on the ground, and Xiaohe knelt beside him, smiling and pinching his face.
"In Niechi, I kept running with you behind my back, from the broken bridge to the snowy field, from the snowy field to Shimen~IndoMTL.com~ Is this how Missy treats me?" Lin Shouxi started typing. Emotional cards.
"Well, you're right."
Xiaohe showed a look of shame, and immediately said with a smile: "Otherwise... are you lying on my lap?"
The girl patted her thigh lightly. Her legs were very beautiful, slender but not skinny, and the lines revealed youthful vitality.
Xiaohe smiled like a goblin, and deliberately lured him to tease him. Although Lin Shouxi was indifferent, he couldn't stand the teasing of the stunning girl, his cheeks were slightly red, he opened his mouth, but didn't speak. "I'd better lie on the ground."
"Brother is so cute."
Xiaohe smiled even more charmingly.
She just wanted to tease him, but Lin Shouxi's previous words reminded her of what she experienced in Niechi. These days, the scenes in Niechi have been played back and forth in her mind countless times. , the taste in the heart is not the same.
But after thinking about it, Xiaohe suddenly felt that something was not right.
"Brother..." Xiao He suddenly looked blank.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you say what you said just now?" Xiaohe's voice turned cold.
"What? Where did you say it?" Lin Shouxi was at a loss.
"You said, you dreamed that you were running on a snowy field with a giant white bone beast behind you. You wanted to wake up, but your chest was so tight..." Xiaohe recalled while repeating.
In an instant, Lin Shouxi also felt his scalp tingling.
He did say that!
That day when Deputy Courtyard Sun entered his room, Xiaohe came to rescue him. He casually made up a dream and told Xiaohe... This dream was exactly the same as what happened on the snow field later!
Is it a coincidence?
Or, without anyone noticing, his nonsense dream... came true!
