I will bury the gods

Chapter 75
There seemed to be the sound of pattering rain, Lin Shouxi held the creased paper, looked at the eye-catching word 'marriage letter' on it, and suddenly returned to the rainy night in the small building of Wu's house.

At that time Xiaohe was sitting upright in front of the long desk, her delicate body was wrapped in a crimson dress embroidered with gorse, the brocade belt seemed to be unfastened, the skirts of the clothes were slightly different, revealing her exquisite collarbone, white snow nephrite.

The girl had just taken a bath, her long wet hair was covered with the scent of grass and trees, she took out a pen, and while teasing herself kindly, she wrote something on the paper. At that time, he never thought that this would be a letter. In the marriage letter, he only remembered Xiaohe's trembling eyelashes, the corners of her lips raised, and her toes barely touching the ground because the chair was a bit high.

'This is a marriage letter, not a contract to serve God, and now you are still smugly bickering with me beside me, hey, you are so stupid, you shouldn't have guessed that I was writing this, right?Hmm... Anyway, I think I'm a little bit in love with you.But you mustn't be too complacent, otherwise Miss Ben will retire, and then don't blame me for humiliating you.Hey, where are you looking now?Don't think I can't see when I'm writing!Hmph, let me spare you, wait for me to eat you up.

Alright, put your handprint on it too, after we put it on, we will be Taoist couples.

Since then, you and I have been inseparable from the cold and the heat, staying together day and night, living for a long time, and dying for a long time... You, are you willing? '

The girl finished writing the letter seemingly casually, hiding her emotions under her cold and soft cheeks and in the vermilion letter paper.

Lin Shouxi finished reading the letter.

It was as if his bones had been taken out of him, and his whole body softened. Where the finger was bitten, blood oozed out, and it was about to drip. It looks like a heart with fine lines.

Of course I would, why wouldn't I want to...

Countless images flashed through Lin Shouxi's mind, and he read the letter several times before carefully folding it and putting it back in the envelope.There is still a maiden mist-like fragrance on it.

Lin Shouxi heard the sound of sobbing.

It turned out that the three-flowered cat was also secretly reading the letter. It didn't know what the cause and effect had been figured out. In a blink of an eye, tears were streaming down its face, and it just wiped its face with its paws.

"What a beautiful poem." Sanhuamao cried.

"Yes." Lin Shouxi put the letter back in his arms and kept it close to his body.

"Is she your Taoist companion?"

"It's the wife."

"What is a wife?"

"It means Taoist couple."

"..." The three-flowered cat wiped away tears, and drew its tail down. It lowered its head apologetically, "I was reckless when I said yesterday that I wanted to register you as a concubine. From now on, this deity is the biggest supporter of you and this sister. You If you dare to half-heartedly, I will scratch your face with the Thunder Plow Claw!"

Lin Shouxi always ignored the nonsense of this three-colored cat, but at this moment, he hummed lightly and closed his clothes.

The three-flowered cat dragged its injured leg and followed.

"Where are you going?" Sanhuamao asked.

"Go out for a walk."

"Then the deity will go with you." Sanhuamao said: "The deity is patrolling the country, and it should be guarded by experts."

"it is good."

Lin Shouxi didn't refuse. Although this cat was a bit stupid, it was a cat from Three Realms Village after all. He was new here and needed a native cat as a guide.

Before going out, Chen Ning fetched a necklace and hung it around Sanhuamao's neck.It was a piece of hard scales strung together by strings.

Three Realms Village worships scales, which is a symbol of dragonborn, representing majesty and strength.

With the sun hanging high and the sun shining brightly, Lin Shouxi stood on the bumpy streets of Sanjie Village, looking back at the mountains behind him.Even standing here, the thick fog on the Three Realms Mountain can still be seen faintly. Although it forms a relatively stable barrier, it is also like the level of the sea, which is about to collapse at any time.

"What's the matter with this fog?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"This deity is not too clear. In short, it appeared about ten months or a year ago. If it wasn't for this heavy fog, this deity would have gone south to the wilderness and dominated the mountain." Sanhuamao said.

"Can anyone get through this fog?" Lin Shouxi continued to ask.

"I don't know."

"Aren't you the all-knowing venerable who is the co-lord of the three realms? Why don't you know this?" Lin Shouxi laughed.

"Because this deity is Her Majesty the Celestial Lady, of course I don't know about you mortals." The three-flowered cat shook the scales on its chest, strutting vigorously.

Lin Shouxi didn't speak. He walked on the dirt street, looking at the mixed shadows of houses and trees under the slanting sunlight, a little absent-minded.

For some reason, he always felt that these white mist were related to him.

Most of the people's villages are three or four bungalows inhabited together, and they are separated by large field ridges. There are no lush trees in between. At first glance, it looks desolate and barren. Thanks to the protection of the sacred tree, at least it can be cultivated.

This three-flowered cat is obviously a native cat of Sanjie Village, but it seems to be more unfamiliar with this village than itself. At first, it was dignified, but soon, its curiosity about the outside world overwhelmed it, and it smelled here and there. Smell, running around in the field, the bush-like crops are densely branched, and it doesn't even notice when its bandages are hooked.

"Have you never been out of Fairy Village before?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Is it the king's land in the whole world, I have been everywhere." Sanhua Mao said proudly, shaking the soil on his body.

"Then can you tell me about the Devil's Nest?"

"The devil's nest..." The three-flowered cat was in trouble. It wagged its tail, wondering what it was struggling with.

Lin Shouxi felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, it would be fine to ask Chen Ning. It would be noisy to bring this silly cat with him.

Sanhuamao saw the disappointment in his eyes and was very angry. It leaped nimbly and jumped directly onto the tiles along the roof of the house. It looked at Lin Shouxi provocatively and said, "Come up, the deity will answer your questions when you come up." Confused."

Then, Sanhua Mao saw a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, Lin Shouxi was already sitting on the roof behind him, with his sleeves folded, watching it quietly.

"I want to make you the second master of the Three Realms!" Sanhuamao appreciated his extraordinary skills.

It got closer to Lin Shouxi, its furry paws pressed against the black roof, its eyes were lonely, it was the direction of the North Demon's Nest.

"The Devil's Nest is also the territory of the deity." Sanhuamao said slowly: "It is said that it is still the place where the deity was born, but the demon wolf of the Demon's Nest is ambitious and tries to destroy this world. It is really unacceptable. The next time the deity goes out of the city, the turmoil will be quelled .”

"Are there other places besides the devil's nest?" Lin Shouxi asked again.

"Well... It is said that there is a place called Longlin Town." Sanhuamao said: "Longlin Town is said to be a town, but there are only a few houses and few people living there, but it is the Three Realms Village and the Devil's Nest. the battleground."

"Why?" Lin Shouxi asked.

The three-flowered cat flicked its tail and replied: "Those who can stand on the barren land are mostly blessed by gods, such as the god mulberry tree and the deity in the Sanjie Village, such as the ancient good fortune Qingguang tripod of the Devil's Nest, or the Longlin Town ax chiseled on the cliff. The python body and black dragon statue in it."

"Since the nameless fog blocked the mountain, the python-body black dragon statue has become the only channel to communicate with the outside world."

This silly cat finally said something useful... Lin Shouxi was moved.

Sanhuamao glanced at Lin Shouxi and asked, "Didn't Chen Ning tell you where the things you shipped came from?"

"You mean that strange book?"

"Hmm! That book is called Heijuan, and this book is...very important to me." Sanhuamao jumped directly onto Lin Shouxi's shoulder, staring at him with as majestic a gaze as possible, and said, "Heijuan is the deity's kinsman." or sent from outside, do you know how they do it?"

Lin Shouxi speculated based on his own understanding of the world, and said, "Sacrifice? They established contact with this snake-bodied black dragon statue a long time ago. They only need to go through special rituals to cross the barrier of time and space and bring The item sacrifice ends here. Right?"

Sanhuamao stared at him and asked, "Where did you come from? Why do you feel like you know everything... Well, or are you an undercover agent sent by the Devil's Nest?"

"Aren't the Three Realms Village and the Devil's Nest your subjects? Are you undercover or not?" Lin Shouxi asked with a smile.

Sanhuamao was stunned for a moment, it thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, "Although you are right to say that, but I have to be responsible to the people, so you'd better explain your origin!"

"I am an ancient true immortal. I came from the other side of the stars, plundered the realm of nothingness, and fell into the abyss of the mortal world. I just landed here." Lin Shouxi imitated Sanhua Mao's words.

"Okay, so you're an extraterrestrial demon!" The three-flowered cat's hair puffed up, and it jumped off his shoulder, hiding far away.

The devil from outside the territory... Lin Shouxi thought of something, his expression suddenly became quiet, he stood up leisurely, and jumped down from the upstairs.

"Let's go, continue to inspect the territory." Lin Shouxi said.

Sanhuamao hesitated for a while, and finally followed angrily.

Just in time for Zhushenlu to release a new issue, Lin Shouxi bought a copy and checked to see if Sanhuamao was obedient.

The three-flowered cat is swaggeringly looking around, inspecting the local conditions and customs here, and there seems to be a clear stream of light floating in the beautiful cat's eyes.

"Am I not good at writing? Why do you insist on adding oil and vinegar?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Well... the deity naturally has the style of the deity." Sanhuamao said.

"Is the story over here?"

"Of course not, I have to write the second volume."

"What else is there to write about in the second volume? Are you going to a new place and meeting stronger opponents?"

"conventional……"

"What's your opinion?" Lin Shouxi asked back.

"I can let Ling Qiu be robbed and die, and start over..." As soon as Sanhuamao opened his mouth, he felt the killing intent behind him, and then shut up angrily, saying: "In short, I must write more, since this Since the popularity of books, many illiterate people have started to learn to read, which is a great thing with immeasurable merit.”

Lin Shouxi hummed, a rare expression of agreement.

"By the way, how long have you been learning to write?" he asked.

"Well...it looks like seven days." Sanhuamao said: "The mother-in-law who taught me how to read at that time said that you already know a thousand characters and you can try to practice writing, so I wrote it with a stroke of my pen. God Record!"

"You are indeed different from ordinary cats." Lin Shouxi patted its head.

"Of course, this deity is the Lord of the Three Realms, and he has a noble status."

Sanhuamao walked leisurely, looked at the long street, and sighed: "This deity's territory is really vast and rich."

"It's quite vast." Lin Shouxi said: "You can go to the sky to listen to it from the entrance of the village."

"..." Sanhuamao was furious: "Don't talk nonsense, Zhuzi, if you talk nonsense, the deity will put you in the prison!"

At this time, Sanhuamao's words were interrupted by an abrupt scream, which came from a dark house next to it.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

They heard the cries of children.

Sanhuamao was furious, and said in his heart that he had come across such an injustice during his private visit in disguise?

It had just reprimanded some unscrupulous people for doing such evil things in broad daylight, when the curtain of the earthen window was pulled open, and a little boy tried to jump out while holding on to the earthen wall. His hands were covered with blood, The meridians are swollen and protruding, they are black and purple, occupying half of the forearm, eye-catching and frightening.

The skinny little boy looked like a ghost, he opened his mouth wide, his bloodshot pupils stared straight at the passers-by outside the window, "Help...help me..."

A hand pressed down on his shoulder, the hand was wide but trembling, the curtain fell suddenly, the little boy was pulled back into the room, he was still crying, "Daddy... please forgive me... I will never let you go!" I don’t want to sneak out of the city... I don’t want to die... I’m going to ask the Lord, the Lord must have a way... Help—help!!”

The hoarse cry of the little boy finally came to an abrupt end amidst screams.

Neither Lin Shouxi nor Sanhuamao moved, they just stood there dumbly, ignoring everything that happened—they knew very well that the little boy was unfortunately polluted by this land, and no one could save him.

The little boy's crying ended, and then they heard a woman crying in the room, intermittent and choking.From the comments of passers-by, they learned that this family still had a child in their later years, and they cherished this little son very much.

Witnessing the tragic death of the people, a sense of powerlessness surged in the limbs, and the Sanhuamao suddenly wilted, its tail drooped, and it lost its air when walking.

When we reached the boundary between Human Village and Demon Village, Sanhuamao stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the river below, and finally spoke:
"It is said that many, many years ago, this land was full and fertile, covered with large tracts of rivers and forests, countless spirits expanded their territories, whether it was beasts, dragons or krill jellyfish, they could all live in their respective lands. The gods occupy a place in the ecology of the world, while the gods live in the polar regions such as volcanoes, places where the leylines are broken, and where the ice and snow never shine, and eliminate possible disasters at any time."

The three-flowered cat put its paws on the bridge and looked to the south.

Lin Shouxi looked at the farmland full of cotton-like vegetation and asked, "What happened afterwards?"

"There are many theories. Some say that because the pale king was bewitched by demons, he gnawed off the hibiscus tree, and the mother goddess of the earth died, and the whole world also withered. Others said that the outer gods came from the stars and polluted them with their turbid liquid. destroyed the land and sea, making the world their own paradise, and there are also legends that black stars came through the sky, causing disasters on the earth..."

"Anyway, I don't know what the reason is, but... as long as I am alive, I will be able to figure out the truth of what happened in the Minggu period, and then I will defeat the Demon King and bring the earth back to life!"

Sanhuamao was in good spirits again after being depressed, and it proudly announced: "In the future, the name of this deity will be spread far and wide!"

Lin Shouxi couldn't help thinking of the oath he made when his master died, and remained silent.

Leaving the bridge, I walked into the Demon Village. Except for the main road leading directly to the gate of the village, the rest of the trails in the Demon Village were extremely rugged and complicated, with creatures running like mice.

"You seem to be a good person."

Sanhuamao stopped suddenly and commented on him.

"Of course." Lin Shouxi always thought he was a good person.

"..." Sanhua Mao meowed twice, and added: "You have a good face, but you are shameless."

Lin Shouxi was noncommittal and accepted this comment with a smile.

"But sometimes shamelessness is also an advantage. When you fight against the devil's nest, you can act as an envoy." Sanhuamao did not forget to assign him an official position, as if he would never give up if he was not allowed to be a civil and military official at the same time.

"An envoy?" Lin Shouxi shook his head, jokingly said, "That's too dangerous. The only thing I can do is probably marry a demon saint."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Sanhuamao was furious, "You really are a big villain, are you worthy of your fiancée like this? I will never allow you to like other women other than that eldest lady!"

"Just a joke." Lin Shouxi said softly, "As you said, there are no two suns in the same sky, so of course I only love Xiaohe."

"There are no two suns in a sky, but there is still a moon and a whole field of stars..." Sanhuamao stared at him distrustfully, grinning, showing a fierce expression on his face.

Lin Shouxi was speechless. Looking at this cunning three-colored cat, he felt that its writing skills had skyrocketed.

The Sanhuamao's words gained the upper hand, and it felt that it was a monarch with Tianxian in its mouth, and it was full of ambitions. It showed kindness and asked Lin Shouxi: "Do you really want to see her?"

"of course."

"Well... this deity knows someone, maybe he can help you."

"Who?"

"An old craftsman, have you seen the black lamp in the fairy village? That's his handwriting. It just so happens that he is in the demon village. This deity will take you to see him."

……

The old craftsman's bamboo house was lined behind a stream with stone slabs as a bridge across it.

There are a lot of broken lamps buried in the stream, all of them are stone lamps without exception, but some stone lamps are carved very strangely, they look like human beings and non-humans, demons and non-demons, there is no big problem, but a glance can tell Make people uncomfortable.

On the way here, Lin Shouxi also heard from other monsters that this half-human, half-demon old man had a weird temper and was hard to see, so let him go back home as soon as possible.

Sanhuamao insisted that he could see it.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Lin Shouxi felt the old man's weird temper.

I saw two big white lanterns hanging on the door of the bamboo house, and the word "Dian" was written on the lanterns.

Lin Shouxi went to knock on the door, and the door opened.The one who opened the door was a woman made of paper. Her facial features were all painted on. The artist was from the freehand style, so she looked especially creepy.

"Grandpa doesn't see anyone, not anyone." The paper figurine said.

"You just say it's the deity coming!" Sanhuamao said.

"Who are you?" The paper figurine said coldly: "The Scale Worship Festival is coming, and Grandpa is making a magic lamp to celebrate the birth of Lord Zun, no one should delay it."

"Stop talking nonsense, let the deity go in!" Sanhuamao dexterously jumped over the paper figurine and rushed into the bamboo house.

"presumptuous!"

All of a sudden, dozens of paper people came out of the darkness and surrounded the three-flowered cat. Lin Shouxi was going to rescue it, but the paper people suddenly fell silent.

An old man with a cane came out, his skin was brown and yellow, and only five locks of white hair remained.

He looked at the boy in black standing at the door, then at the three-flowered cat, and asked in confusion, "Why... are you here again?"

"I'm here to borrow that lamp."

It finally stopped calling itself the deity.

"That lamp?" The old man shook his head, "That lamp is very evil, I can't lend it to you."

"Don't be afraid, we have this..." Sanhuamao tugged on Lin Shouxi's trousers and asked him to take out the silver coin.

Lin Shouxi took out the silver coin. The old man glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Okay, I'll go get the lamp."

The old man turned around, opened the curtain with his pipe, and entered the inner room.

"You know him?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Of course, he also likes to read Zhu Shenlu." The three-flowered cat proudly raised its tail into a banner.

"What is a lamp?"

"Oh...it's a wishing lamp. It is said that it was made by the old man when he was young. After he finished it, he almost went crazy." Sanhuamao said, "This wishing lamp can fulfill one of your wishes, but the price is... it Will destroy a wish on your level."

Sanhuamao jumped onto the table and stretched, "But don't be afraid, this silver coin can help you pay the price."

As soon as it finished speaking, the old man came out, holding a lamp in his hand, it was a stone lamp, the stone lamp was shaped like a baby embryo, the surface was as smooth as a cocoon, and a pair of deformed wings grew out of the back.

Lin Shouxi felt that this shape looked familiar, and then, he immediately thought of the blood demon sealed in the blood-snatching sword—their appearances were faintly similar!

According to the old man's instructions, Lin Shouxi put the silver coins on the lamp, and in an instant, a colorless and light illusory flame rose out of thin air, shaped like water droplets, and the low, chaotic raving sound spread out along with the firelight, like a group of rats gnawing their teeth, like Feather moths fly around.

"I want to meet Xiaohe within three days." Lin Shouxi said sincerely.

After shaking, the flames suddenly dissipated, and the noisy sound returned to silence.

The silver coin was spit out intact - the magic lamp could not respond to this wish.

"It can't do it." The old man sighed. "The mountain is blocked by heavy fog, and many wishes will fail. Let's change it."

Lin Shouxi had expected this result, but he was inevitably disappointed.

"Even Grandpa Magic Lamp can't do it... Then it seems that no one in the whole Three Realms can do it." Sanhuamao also showed a sad expression. It patted Lin Shouxi with its tail and asked, "Except for seeing this sister, Do you have any other wishes? Come here, don’t waste it.”

Other wishes... Lin Shouxi thought about it, and the thing that bothered him the most recently was probably the practice.

He needs a practice book that really suits him.

He was not stingy either, and directly chose to exchange silver coins for spells.

The flames burned again, and this time, the ravings gathered into a real torrent, and when they reached Lin Shouxi, they had already turned into a wordless ancient scroll.

"Hey, what kind of book is this? Let me have a look." The three-flowered cat jumped up and down, wanting to see it quickly.

"It's getting late, you should go home first." The old man looked at the Sanhuamao and said earnestly.

Sanhuamao felt a chill down its spine, feeling something was wrong.

"Someone is coming." Before Lin Shouxi had time to flip through the contents of the book, he raised his head and felt several figures rushing from the fog at high speed.

"How dare you tell the truth!" Sanhuamao realized later, and immediately understood that he must have secretly released a wooden bird to deliver the message when he went to get the lamp just now!
"I also reported the secret last time." The old man said frankly.

"Sure enough, you are a traitor! This deity is going to smash all your broken lamps!" Sanhua Mao was furious.

In a blink of an eye, all the visitors arrived at the door. They were wearing gray clothes and carrying an empty chariot.

"This is a big matter, my lord, don't run around anymore, after the Scale Worship Festival, you will be free." The old man said solemnly.

The men in gray responded in unison, and also bowed to the three-flowered cat: "I have seen you, my lord."
