I will bury the gods

Chapter 5 Guard
Lin Shouxi turned his head, the Taoist was staring at him, his closed right eye jumped, as if about to open.

Lin Shouxi could feel that if this eye was opened, all his secrets would be known.

But fortunately, it seemed that opening one eye would cost a lot, so the Taoist just hesitated for a moment and didn't make any more moves.

Seeing that he didn't speak any more, Lin Shouxi returned to his seat.

A demonic Taoist sits surrounded by candlelight, and the house is filled with an endless smell. The storm outside beats on the doors and windows, and the ugly little ghost lying on the window is staring at the house with a smile...

All this happened in a real and absurd way.

The snow-haired girl who came to pick her up was named Xiaohe. Besides her, there were two other survivors in the house.

One is a tearful little fat man named Wang Erguan, who seems to be the elder brother of that Wang Ji.

There is also a young man with a stern face. The Taoist inspected him before he entered the house, so I don't know his name.

A dozen teenagers and girls were killed and only four were left. The Taoist who was the instigator looked indifferent and didn't take it seriously.

"You are all lucky people."

The Taoist glanced around with his single eye, and spoke, but his tone was as gentle as a spring breeze.

Everyone held their breath, and no one dared to respond.

"You must be wondering why you came here and where you should go next, right?"

The Taoist smiled slightly. He killed people like hemp before, but now he is kind to the young girls who have been selected, as if they are rare treasures.

"I am the chief priest of the Wu family, and I practiced in Yunkong Mountain. You can call me... Master Yun."

After introducing himself, Master Yun began to talk about the ins and outs of the matter.

"This is Wuzhu Lake. There is an ancient god sleeping at the bottom of the lake. That is the god we worship. It is called the guardian god."

"Master Zhenshou is one of the few great gods that survived in the ancient war of gods. Few people in the world know of its existence. Back then, the first Patriarch of our Wu family made a contract with the gods at the Wuzhu Lake. Since then, the Wu family It has been 290 years since I lived in this filthy land and watched over the sleeping gods at the bottom of the lake.”

"The content of the contract with the gods is very simple. He gave the Wu family a powerful bloodline. As the heirs, the Wu family guarded the lakeside for generations. After the gods die, we will enter the gods' residence and pass on its power."

"The guardian god once made a prophecy that its life would last another 300 years... that is, next year, but..."

Master Yun's words paused, and the smile on his cheeks spread away, like a broken mirror wetted with blood.

"But ten days ago, the god was killed."

God was killed? !

Fatty Wang Erguan and snow-haired girl Xiaohe were surprised.

Although they don't know what kind of god that is, but in their cognition, god is a life that only exists in legends, ancient and powerful, how can such an existence be killed?
It is said that a certain ancient god of the first generation once said a famous sentence on the top of the mountain - who can kill me except the boundless time and me?
"How could a god be killed?" Xiaohe's slender neck shook slightly, and her words were soft.

"Yeah... how is it possible..."

The little fat man Wang Erguan also opened his eyes wide and muttered in agreement.

Master Yun's face was frosty, and his Taoist robe danced rhythmically with the candlelight around him.

"I can't believe it either." Master Yun said, "God sleeps at the bottom of the lake, but its statue has been standing on the edge of the lakeside cliff. The statue's golden pupils are shining all year round, indicating the survival of the god, but ten days ago... ten days ago , Thunder and lightning pierced through the sky, and the lake water suddenly evaporated in large quantities, forming an unprecedented fog."

"When the white mist finally dissipated, the eldest son of the Wu family went to worship the statue, and unexpectedly found that there were two extremely deep marks on the statue, which looked like they had been split by a sword."

The statue connected to the body of the god is indestructible, even if it is thunder, it is impossible to leave marks on it. What split it?

"It was also during the worship process that the pupils of the gods that had been burning for nearly 300 years were extinguished, and the statue of the gods shattered and fell into Wuzhu Lake. The water in Wuzhu Lake also began to evaporate a lot, revealing the divine way hidden below..."

Master Yun did not continue.

Lin Shouxi understood that if the idol is broken, the god will die. The prophecy was one year in advance. The god they watched and worshiped was killed by two unknown swords ten days ago.

God... This sounds like a majestic and powerful life, so powerful that a big family would spend 300 years waiting for it, just to obtain the power it inherited.But how was such a powerful life being killed?
What kind of terrible thing could kill a god?
Then, Lin Shouxi also understood that although the gods were killed, their family's responsibilities would continue. Now that the water in the lake receded, the divine court hidden at the bottom of the lake should have been revealed, and they were going to the center of the lake to take over the inheritance of the gods.

It must have something to do with the fact that I and these boys and girls were summoned here.

"The god has passed away, and its power will be divided into three. The family has decided that the eldest son, second son, and third lady will inherit respectively. As for you..." Master Yun paused, the sadness on his face disappeared, and once again Smiling: "You were summoned here by the altar."

"Before he died, the god opened the altar. It chose you thousands of miles away, broke through the barrier of space with its supreme power, and pulled you to the altar. You are all God-appointed servants. Half a month later, The three of you will accompany the three young masters and young ladies to enter the divine dwelling and gain strength. During this period, you must protect their safety, and if all goes well, you will be able to become god servants, and you may even enter the realm of half-human gods in the future!"

Half a step into the realm of the gods.

As soon as this word came out, the rainstorm outside became a little quieter.

"You are lucky, so lucky that I feel jealous."

Master Yun is sometimes sad and sometimes happy, and his words are cadenced and frustrating. Lin Shouxi found that the others were all fascinated by listening, and even showed fascination... He thought of the scattered corpses under the cliff now, and he didn't feel it at all. What luck.

And according to his rich experience, this so-called 300-year-old wizard family is probably a cult, and they are likely to be sacrificed.

"Okay, you guys rest for the night, tomorrow I will teach you spells in person, and in a few days, the three young masters and young ladies will come to choose someone in person."

These are Yun Zhenren's last words.

The candle was extinguished, a trace of coldness slipped out of the window, and Master Yun disappeared.

Those vicious little ghosts also jumped out of the window one after another, connecting end to end, and then left.

Under the eaves and in front of the rain curtain, Master Yun stopped. He inexplicably remembered the boy named Lin Shouxi.

"Can he see my demon?"

Master Yun looked at the ugly kid following behind him, frowned, and shook his head after thinking for a moment: "How is this possible, how can others see the demons in your heart?"

Alas, it must be that I have been thinking too much recently, and I have come up with such unrealistic thoughts...

Master Yun stepped into the rain, and his figure floated away.

He was not at all afraid that those children would run away, because the ancient residence was surrounded by high cliffs, and it was difficult for them to walk an inch.

In a blink of an eye, he came to the door of a gloomy mansion.

This is the witch family.

A short old man with an umbrella has been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Did something happen? Did that crazy woman divination something extraordinary again?" Master Yun asked calmly.

"No." The old dwarf frowned and said, "Today, the priest personally went to investigate the statue and the altar. He found something in the mud under the cliff."

"what?"

"A sword."

"Sword? Is it important? Could it be the relic of Lord Guardian?"

Master Yun tried his best to guess in a bold direction, but the result still far exceeded his expectation.

"No, not at all. That sword is of good quality, but it doesn't have any divine patterns on it. It's just a mortal sword, but..." The voice of the dwarf old man suddenly trembled.

"But what?"

"However, the priest carefully compared the sword marks on the guardian statue, and one of the sword marks seems to match it!" The dwarf old man took a deep breath, and said coldly: "That sword is probably a murderer's sword. Keep guarding the murder weapon of the adults!"

"What did you say?!" Master Yun asked sternly.

The old man kept silent and dared not speak.

"A mortal sword killed Lord Guardian...how is it possible? If a mortal sword is a murder weapon, then what kind of person should the murderer be?"

The Wu Family...are they going to suffer?
Master Yun stood in the rain, and the clothes on his shoulders got wet unknowingly.

At this moment, in the bloody room, Lin Shouxi leaned against the wall thinking about something.

Ever since he woke up, he always felt that he was missing something, not Luo Shu, nor Hei Lin...

what is it then?

He was so tired and had a splitting headache that he couldn't remember for a while.
