I will bury the gods

Chapter 45
The secret room of the witch family is hidden underground in the main hall.

Xiaohe pushed open the door of the secret compartment.

Carrying a lamp, I walked down the winding stairs, and the foggy darkness was dispersed by the lamp, and then closed behind me.

From a distance, Lin Shouxi heard the shrill cry of a bird.

"Some servants of the Wu family often rumored that there are gophers and 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 dizzy light illuminated the surrounding picture clearly.

A depressing 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 unwiped blood. Countless birds are locked in the iron cages, but it is difficult for Lin Shouxi to recognize them from their appearance.

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 without exception, they all looked like It lay on its stomach like a broken bone, screaming in pain and difficulty, as if to prevent some birds from pecking through the cage, many beaks had been cut off.

This is bird purgatory.

Lin Shouxi looked at it for a while, then 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, except that the three legs of this furnace are pitch black, and the body is also covered airtight with a big black cloth.

"Here...what the hell is it?" He also felt a little sick.

Not only because of the torture and weird appearance of these birds, but he also vaguely felt that there was a smell in the air that he had never heard before, which came from unknown substances.

"This is mental turbidity." Xiaohe said.

"Goofy?"

Xiaohe once mentioned being confused, but she couldn't elaborate on it because of time constraints.

In the evil pool, those monsters condensed by the evil spirit emitted by the sealed monsters are called Yaozhuo, but... what is Shenzhuo?Is it God's resentment?
"Spiritual turbidity is a kind of liquid extracted from the earth's rock formations. It is not rare, and it contains extremely terrifying power. This power is countless times stronger than true energy. Most people swallow it directly and it will be dissolved. Die with bones."

As Xiaohe said, he led him to a cabinet made of colored glass, which was sealed with off-white mucus. The mucus looked very cloudy, and there were dots of white foam in it, as if microbes were crawling around inside.

Lin Shouxi looked at these white liquids called Shenzhuo, and felt a sense of resistance in his heart.

"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 gods, and after various experiments, they found a way - to pour it into the blood of wild animals. in the body."

"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 become milder. " Xiaohe 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 for the last time."

The little white sparrow chirps every day, showing its arrogance to others without knowing it.

"After drinking Shenzhuo, will it become very strong?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Extraordinary power will be awakened, 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, and they will enter you with the spirit. body, becoming a real gangrene."

"Will people gain demon nature through this?" Lin Shouxi understood a little bit.

"Yeah." Xiaohe said: "A person can control this part of the demon nature to make himself stronger, or he 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 sects hidden in the deep mountains and old forests who practice drinking spirits. Name the sect after the shape of a wild beast."

"Named after the shape of a beast?"

"Yes, I heard that a demon sect called 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 beasts."

Lin Shouxi... 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..." Xiaohe 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 road, the two came to the iron gate, Xiao He took out a key and opened the heavy iron gate.

The huge bones seen in Niechi pressed into the pupils again.

The red light in the skull had been extinguished, and the remaining wings and limbs were curled up together, as if they were still embryos in eggshells.

But even so, it still filled the newly opened huge 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 Wu family's weapons combined with Master Yun's immortal cultivation finally subdued the red-eyed dragon corpse. It is now soaked in this huge container bounded by glazed glass, and the container is filled with divine turbidity to prevent its heart from regenerating.

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 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. It has become so powerful, what kind of destructive existence should those old kings who ruled the earth and the sky be?
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, capable of being quiet and bright, thin and giant, ascending to the sky at the vernal equinox, and diving into the abyss at the autumnal equinox, a five-clawed holy beast with a body like a long python, able to soar through the clouds and ride the fog, and travel freely. Clouds and 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 in the other side of the world for real!

After walking around, Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe left the secret room together.

After the iron door was locked, Lin Shouxi suddenly found two interlaced swords painted on the door.

"What is this?" Lin Shouxi asked casually.

"This one..." Xiaohe looked at it for a while, and said, "These are two legendary swords, one is called the sword of killing clan, and the other is called the sword of absurdity. No one knows whether they are real or not." Yes, but many sealed places will use these two swords as totems."

"It's a legend again..."

Lin Shouxi couldn't help feeling that there are so many secrets in this world.

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. fly.

"Come on, give me a hand." A smile finally appeared on Xiaohe's pretty face, "Help me move this cage out together."

"it is good."

Of course Lin Shouxi would not refuse. He looked at the other cages and asked, "Then what about them?"

"They...can't survive." Xiaohe pursed her thin lips slightly, "Throw the fire in later, the Wu Family... don't need this kind of place anymore."

Lin Shouxi was silent.

He held one side of the iron cage, and Xiaohe held 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 kept screaming like Is chasing ducks.

Back on the ground, Xiaohe ordered a few maids to fetch oil and poured it down.

The bones of those mutated birds were corroded, and they were tortured day and night, and death was the best destination.

In the deep secret room, the flames burned, turning all evils into thick smoke.

It's getting late.

Going out along the straight path 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 cloudy sunset paints the sky, the setting sun is hidden behind the clouds, and the Wu family behind it is as quiet as if it has been 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 large dry lake below was filled with ravines, and the center was filled with fog.

The ceremony of following the gods is tomorrow, and 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 squeezed out 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.

Only a few injured birds remained in the cage.

Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe healed them, held them in their hands, and let it fly away by itself, 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 corners of the cornices of Wu's house.

"Xiaohe is really of 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, and the cool breeze blew, and the complicated thoughts of the day seemed to be blown away by the wind. Birds sang intermittently, Xiaohe regained consciousness slightly, and saw flocks of black crows passing by the sky.

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 still could not suppress her grief, and her forced indifference was finally overwhelmed by 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.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 her 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.

"I'll carry you back?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"People will see it." Xiaohe said.

Saying this means not rejecting it.

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, Xiao He 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 asked, "Where do I sleep tonight?"

"Where do you want to sleep?" Xiao He asked.

"As the eldest lady's god attendant, should I stay close to 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 do anything wrong.

"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'll 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 getting an inch." Xiaohe always felt that he was deliberately angry with himself, "From now on, you should call me Missy, and if you dare to call me Miss Ben, I will beat you up."

"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?" Xiaohe scolded.

"But last night I..."

"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 it is not elegant to lie on the ground.

Lin Shouxi lay flat on the ground, and Xiaohe knelt beside him with her knees bent, pinching his face with a smile.

"In Niechi, I kept running with your back on my back, from the broken bridge to the snowfield, and from the snowfield to Shimen. Is this how Missy treats me?" Lin Shouxi began to play the emotional card.

"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 and slender but not skinny, and the lines revealed youthful vitality.

Xiaohe smiled like a goblin, deliberately seducing him to tease him. Although Lin Shouxi was indifferent, he couldn't stand the provocation of the stunning girl. Lie on the ground."

"Brother is so cute."

Xiaohe smiled even more charmingly.

She originally 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. Every time she thinks about it, the feeling in her heart are not the same.

But after thinking about it, Xiaohe suddenly felt that something was not right.

"Senior brother..." Xiaohe suddenly looked blank.

"what happened?"

"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 the snowy field with a giant white bone beast behind you. You wanted to wake up, but your chest was so tight..." Xiaohe recalled and repeated.

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 is it that his nonsense dream... came true without anyone noticing it!
