I will bury the gods

Chapter 21
"Why did you come out so late? And you picked such an ugly sword?"

When Lin Shouxi pushed the door and came out, Xiaohe leaned against the wooden pillar with his sword in his arms, with a stern face, looked at the brown wooden scabbard in his arms, the plain long sword, and said displeasedly.

"I think it's pretty." Lin Shouxi said.

"The vision is really bad." Xiao He curled her lips.

"Junior sister is also pretty." Lin Shouxi said again.

"What do you mean by saying this now?" Xiao He puffed her face.

"Nothing, let's go eat."

"Hmph, if you talk nonsense again, I'm going to betray the teacher."

"..."

Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe left the Sutra Pavilion and walked towards the courtyard. Xiaohe threw a wooden sign to him, which was the number of the new room given to them by the old woman.

"Why are there two wooden signs?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Could it be one? Who wants to live with you!" Xiaohe said angrily, "Senior Brother, I believe more and more that you are from the Hehuan Sect!"

Lin Shouxi was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly, "I mean, where are the keys?"

"..." Xiaohe was silent for a moment: "I'll take the wooden sign to get the key later."

After finishing speaking, Xiaohe was still a little annoyed: "Brother, can't you explain it more clearly in the future?"

"It's because you think too much."

"No way... I think you did it on purpose."

"I do not have."

"It must be intentional. The senior brother looks cold on the surface, but he is actually bad." Xiaohe snorted softly, and made a final conclusion on Lin Shouxi's character. Door."

"Hmm... Junior Sister is really..."

"Really what?"

"Understand righteousness."

"..."

After the two disappeared, Deputy Courtyard Sun and Master Yun appeared at the door of the Sutra Pavilion like three-dimensional shadows.

"Is that sword used by a woman?" Master Yun asked.

"Well, that boy named Lin Shouxi said it." Vice President Sun replied.

Master Yun fell silent.

"Is the real person suspicious of that little girl named Xiaohe?" Vice President Sun asked.

"No." Master Yun said, "A murderous sword is not a sacrificial weapon. The difference between men and women is never considered when making swords. Where did he know that?"

"Maybe they have this custom in their hometown, or maybe it's just his one-sided fooling around." Vice President Sun thought about it.

"Yeah." Master Yun said again: "But according to what he said, this sword is beautiful and restrained, it really looks like a woman's sword."

"Then... is he still suspected?"

"If he is really related to the person behind the killing of the gods, then he is likely to be a pawn."

Master Yun speculated: "It was inconvenient for the person behind the scenes to take action directly, so he was placed in the Wu family, trying to steal the power of the guarding god."

"Is this possible?"

"He is very special." Yun Zhenren said: "I searched his body, but I didn't find any trace of Qiwan."

"No gas pill? Is it a pill that hasn't condensed yet?"

"If the pill hasn't condensed yet, there should be a white spot in his body, but the center of his spirit vein is pitch black, nothing at all."

"how can that be……"

Vice President Sun's expression was solemn, and he began to believe that there was really something unknown behind this young man named Lin Shouxi.

"If he is a pawn, should we kill him?" Vice President Sun made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"No need." Master Yun said lightly: "If my conjecture is true, the karma of killing him is too heavy, even I don't want to take the risk."

Deputy Yuan Sun suddenly understood that Master Yun's stay in the Wu family was just to repay the kindness of the old Patriarch, but how could the life and death of the Wu family compare to his way?He doesn't want to take real risks.

"Is the real person leaving soon?" Vice President Sun asked.

"One year later is the deadline I agreed with the old Patriarch." Yun Zhenren said: "I have guarded the Wu family for a hundred years, and it is time for me to return my freedom."

"After Master Yun left, what should the Wu family do?" Deputy Courtyard Sun sighed.

"The Wu family still has an eldest son, he is the reincarnation of a true immortal, and his previous life is unfathomable. Although the son is still young now, he will definitely go farther than me in the future." Master Yun said firmly.

Deputy Courtyard Sun thought of the Eldest Young Master, and his heart sank.

The eldest son was born with a colorful bead in his mouth. He was born with an impeccable body and a unique style. He is the reincarnation of a real fairy.And it seemed that he had spent all his luck in giving birth to him, so that the second young master and third young lady in the back were both plain-looking and bad-tempered.

Vice President Sun pointed in the direction of Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe, and made a final confirmation:
"Then we just let it go?"

"Let Ah Yue go and try them." Yun Zhenren said.

……

A Yue is the young master who ranks first on the demon killing list.

He draws his sword very fast, and he can always seal his throat with one sword.

At the same time, he is also the eldest son's close servant, and the eldest son trusts him very much.

A Yue sat on a rock with a sword in his waist. He rubbed the secret letter given to him by Vice President Sun, threw it into his mouth, swallowed it, and looked down.

In the hall, Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe sat on a bench eating noodles with a lamp.

In his eyes, this pair of teenagers and girls were as weak as chicks. He didn't understand why the vice president entrusted him with this task, and he was so serious about it.

The strangest thing is that the vice president only allows himself to kill one, and anyone can be killed.

Such a task is by no means difficult for him, he is not nervous at all, on the contrary, he sees such a warm scene of the two people who are about to die, and the pleasure in his heart agitates.

It has been a long time since he really tasted human blood.

Inside the house, Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe finished receiving the keys and were eating noodles.

"This demon-killing courtyard is not big." Xiaohe said suddenly.

"How do you know?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time just now. I took a stroll around when I had nothing to do, and I finished it soon." Xiaohe said.

"Anything you know?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"It's nothing special, I just saw a place called Xiangye Pavilion next to the Demon Killing Academy. It is said that it is a place to send sinners. When I passed by, I heard a few screams. It was scary." Xiaohe Say.

"If I'm locked up there, will Junior Sister come to rescue me?" Lin Shouxi asked casually.

"Of course not." Xiaohe vowed: "Junior Sister will not stand under a dangerous wall."

"Junior sister really has no conscience." Lin Shouxi complained, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"

Xiaohe tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "By the way, I also met Vice President Sun."

"Vice President Sun? When?" Lin Shouxi became alert.

"Just when you were about to come out, he even told me about the origins of those locked ghosts, and after he finished speaking, he disappeared all of a sudden." Xiaohe recalled.

"..."

Lin Shouxi was puzzled again. He originally thought that Vice President Sun had been watching him in secret, so as soon as he touched the sword, the dwarf old man appeared behind him like a ghost.

But he was not in the pavilion, but was talking to Xiaohe outside.

By what means is he observing himself?Is it some kind of magical power in this world?

"What is the origin of those ghosts?" Lin Shouxi asked along the way.

Xiaohe stopped her chopsticks, she moved closer to Lin Shouxi, and said mysteriously: "They are demons who have manifested their true nature."

"Demon? What is that?"

"The inner demon is the monster that breeds in our body."

Xiaohe explained: "Before the devil is conceived, it is an invisible and ubiquitous monster. You can understand it as an invisible seed. The human body is like soil, which will unknowingly germinate If we are sown with demon seeds, the demon seeds will use us to grow stronger, and if we don't cut them off from our body, they can even replace us!"

"Can no one avoid the erosion of demons?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Any ascetic may become a medium for the growth of demons." Xiaohe sighed, "Auntie said that practice is a gift from the gods, but it is also a curse from the demons."

"Can we see our inner demons?" Lin Shouxi asked again.

"Before the heart demon is pulled out, only the host can see it. After it is really pulled out, everyone can see it." Xiaohe relayed the knowledge taught to her by her aunt.

"Where did the devil come from?"

"How do I know?"

"Then why are these demons imprisoned? Can't they be killed?" Lin Shouxi frowned and asked.

"Generally speaking, they cannot be killed. They will die only when the host dies." Xiaohe replied.

"..."

Lin Shouxi didn't ask any more, because he suddenly understood the question just now - where is Vice President Sun staring at him.

It's the demon in Jiange!
That was Vice President Sun's heart demon.

He should have some means to connect the consciousness of a part of the heart demon, making it his third eye, peeping into everything that happened in the Jiange.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiaohe noticed his distraction.

"I was thinking, since demons cannot be killed, there should be a huge number of demons in this world. Why do we say that evil spirits and dragon corpses are our biggest enemies? Should it be more terrifying?" Lin Shouxi asked the doubts in his heart.

"The reason is very simple, because a really powerful practitioner can control the inner demon and make it his helper. Those people would like to see the demons invade. Of course, it must be a very powerful practitioner." Xiaohe said.

"Junior Sister knows a lot." Lin Shouxi praised.

"Of course, our sect can't all be idiots." Xiaohe said helplessly.

The two had eaten and went out with their swords.

They are God's chosen ones, so the Wu family didn't have too many restrictions on them. After dinner, they walked around the Wu family together.The Wu family was very big, and they became dizzy after walking around a few times.

Before they knew it, they came to the door of the main hall of the Wu family.

There is a huge mural at the door, on which a pale dragon is painted. The dragon soars in the sky, and its huge wings outstretched cover the stars. Under its shadow, the people bow their heads and close their eyes.

Lin Shouxi wanted to ask Xiaohe about the story of the mural, but found Xiaohe standing somewhere in a daze.

He came to her side.

In front of her is a pair of tombstones next to each other.

The pair of tombstones stood in front of the main hall of the Wu family, and they should commemorate important figures.

"Do you want to worship?"

Out of pity for the dead, Lin Shouxi asked.

"What is there to worship, and I don't know it."

"What does it matter if you don't know each other?"

"Hey, it's easy to be entangled by ghosts in a tomb that you don't know, don't meddle in your own business..."

Xiaohe frightened him, then pulled his sleeve back to the Demon Killing Yard, telling him to go to bed early and get up early to have a good rest.

The boy and the girl parted in the courtyard.

The night in the Demon Killing Academy is cool.

The white wall in the distance is like a high mountain, and the lanterns under the corridor are like blood-stained heads. Their backs are sandwiched between them, like night dew that will be blown away by the wind at any time, showing an ominous loneliness.
