I will bury the gods

Chapter 8
The ancient residence is very large, surrounding the courtyard of the Great Tripod, the boys and girls each chose a room to live in.

Whether it is the style of the buildings or the change of the sun and the moon, this world is not much different from the past, and Lin Shouxi adapts quickly.

In the early morning, Wang Erguan pushed the door out early to prepare for a new day of hard work. He thought he was the first to get up, but found Lin Shouxi still sitting on the corridor in a daze.

Is this a sleepless night?
For a while, Wang Erguan couldn't tell who was the cultivator.

"You should sleep more when recovering from your injuries. Are you stunned by the blow?" he asked.

Lin Shouxi didn't respond to him. In fact, he did not hear Wang Erguan's words. leave in the state.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was bright.

The old woman on crutches came to deliver meals as usual. She staggered and seemed to have trouble with her legs and feet, but this ancient residence was surrounded by steep cliffs, and I don't know how she got here.

Wang Erguan felt that she must be an expert, and pretended to be kind enough to help Tao Jin, but was pushed away by the old woman, and hit the wall so hard that he almost fainted.

Afterwards, he talked to them in horror for a long time, saying that the old woman was transformed from a monster, with two rows of fangs in her mouth.

"What's so scary about monsters?" Xiao He said when the four of them had dinner together.

"Aren't you afraid of monsters?"

Wang Erguan didn't believe it, the little girls in his family used to be scared to death by a ghost story.

"I grew up in the mountains." Xiaohe said.

"In the mountains?" Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang were a little surprised.

Lin Shouxi didn't know what they were surprised at first. After all, he also grew up on the mountains.

"Aren't those barren mountains full of evil monsters, how did you survive in them?" Wang Erguan felt that she was not easy.

"I was brought up by my aunt." Xiaohe sipped her meal and said, "My aunt said that I was originally a young lady of a big family, but because of various reasons, I was persecuted by my family and almost killed. My mother has a very good relationship with her, and she escaped with me and lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years."

"Then your aunt must be a master." Wang Erguan said.

"Well, my aunt is very powerful."

"You were dragged here by the altar, aunt must be very worried." Lin Shouxi said.

"Um……"

"Don't you have a surname?" Ji Luoyang was also curious about her background.

"My aunt didn't tell me." Xiaohe shook her head: "She said that she hoped that one day I could return to the family and take back my surname myself."

"Is that so..."

"Then Miss Xiaohe, what happened to that 14-year-old that day?" Ji Luoyang asked everyone's common doubts.

"This..." Xiaohe was a little embarrassed, her eyes flickered a few times, and she seemed reluctant to say it.

"Ji Luoyang, thanks to the fact that you are also from a wealthy family, you don't know that?" Wang Erguan once again showed off his knowledge, "This girl Xiaohe must have spiritual roots."

Linggen?

Lin Shouxi heard this word for the first time, trying to figure out the meaning, Ji Luoyang didn't seem to understand, and looked at Wang Erguan.

The little fat man folded his arms around his chest, and after a while, he said: "The spiritual vein is a unique gift in this world, and this spiritual root is even rarer among ascetics who have a spiritual vein. For example, mine An uncle, unfortunately, he was born blind, but fortunately, he was born with the spiritual root of eyes."

"The spiritual root of the eye?"

"Well, although he is blind, the spirit root gave him the ability to see the world. Not only that, he is not like ordinary people, who can only see things within the line of sight. He can see clearly at the same time with the spirit root of the eyes. In all directions, even some things that ordinary people can't see... In short, it's very powerful." Wang Erguan said proudly.

"What exactly is a spiritual root?" Ji Luoyang asked.

"I don't have spiritual roots, how would I know?" Wang Erguan snorted coldly.

"Then Miss Xiaohe..."

"Miss Xiaohe, um... do you have any spiritual roots that can hide that mantra stone?" Wang Erguan asked.

But he thought it was impossible. The Mantra Stone is a treasure condensed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even when a great monk who claims to be an immortal gets married, he must hold the Mantra Stone in his hand and read the oath of the Taoist couple.

"Hidden the truth stone?" Ji Luoyang's heart skipped a beat.

"No." Xiaohe finally said, "I...I seem to be able to see the future."

"See the future?" Everyone was even more surprised.

"Yeah." Xiaohe said: "Sometimes, some scenes flashed in my mind, and those scenes had never happened before. For example, when Master Yun asked me the other day, I..."

Needless to say, everyone knows that at that time, the image of walking on the road with Taoist companions four years later flashed in her mind.

"Did you see that person clearly?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"I... how can I see clearly?" Xiaohe stopped her chopsticks, as if she couldn't eat anymore.

"You can ask such intimate questions casually? Haha, you've made the little girl angry again, right?" Wang Erguan gloated.

But his smile soon froze on his face.

Before Xiaohe closed the lunch box, she actually put the remaining pieces of meat into Lin Shouxi's bowl one by one, then she stood up and left without saying a word.

The girl walked back into the house and closed the door, her cyan skirt was as soft as flower petals.

Lin Shouxi looked at the few pieces of meat lying in the lunch box, and also fell silent.

Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang looked at each other, as if they understood something.

"I seem to know who Miss Xiaohe saw." Wang Erguan laughed meaningfully.

"I don't think it's right." Lin Shouxi said.

"What's wrong? Why? Are you reserved and shy? Do you want to hide in the house like other girls?" Wang Erguan laughed.

Smiling, he found that Ji Luoyang's face beside him was also a little gloomy.

Wang Erguan was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief: "Don't you also like..."

"how is this possible."

"Then you..." Wang Erguan was even more puzzled.

Ji Luoyang closed the lunch box and said, "I'm going to practice."

Wang Erguan was stunned for a moment, feeling that these people were more or less insane and couldn't figure it out.

"Shouldn't you be unable to eat too?" Wang Erguan asked Lin Shouxi who was in a daze.

Lin Shouxi nodded, but he ate up all the meat on the meal before leaving.

Wang Erguan felt sadly that he might be the only normal person here.

No one mentioned about the 'foreseeing' of the spiritual root, but the relationship between Lin Shouxi and Xiaohe naturally became better.

They will eat together, meditate together, and sometimes go to the cliff to watch the clouds together.

When they were looking at the clouds, Wang Erguan would always point and point at their distant backs. In fact, when they were together, they seldom talked, and they mostly talked about unimportant topics.

Xiaohe often talks about some things she encountered in the mountains when she lived with her aunt.That terrifying mountain that was supposed to be shrouded in evil aura looked like a colorful hometown to Miss Xiaohe.

Lin Shouxi talked about his own childhood, and in the process of telling, he will also carefully make some localized adaptations.

He sometimes feels that these stories are actually being told to himself, and he needs to remember who he is and his mission.

When the boys and girls got together occasionally, Wang Erguan never forgot to tease them, saying that they were shameless.

But Wang Erguan's teasing was very measured, he was afraid that if he was in a hurry to be sarcastic, the other party would work hard and start practicing kung fu in a rage.

He hoped that this pair of dogs and men would continue to do nothing like this.

Lin Shouxi has long been used to his broken mouth, and he never takes it to heart.

Similarly, he also clearly knew that he didn't like Xiaohe, and even said that he just didn't reject her.

Xiaohe is beautiful, and her childish voice is as crisp as an oriole. When talking to her, he will relax a lot. More importantly, he also learned a little bit about many things in this world from such small talk.

He knew that people in this world all live in the center of the earth, where there is a sacred mountain protected, surrounded by holy fire, and even the vicious evil spirits dare to retreat.

The Wuzhu Lake where they are now is located on the desolate land outside the protection of the sacred mountain. Few people survive here.

"What exactly is polluting the earth?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"It's filth." Xiaohe explained: "There are countless filth immersed in the earth. They are the source of pollution. There are different opinions on the source of filth, and there is no clear conclusion so far."

"The filth...can't be eradicated?"

"It's very difficult." Xiaohe sighed softly, and said, "Besides, it's not all bad. After all, the true energy we exhale is what it emits."

Infuriating is exuded by filth?Lin Shouxi frowned.

It just so happens that the source of polluting the earth exudes auras that can be used for human cultivation. No wonder these auras are so dangerous, and if they are not handled properly, they will go crazy. It turns out that they grow out of the evil soil...

"Huh? Didn't your teacher tell you about this?" Xiaohe looked into his eyes and asked.

"I didn't have a pulse before, and I was just a sweeper in the division." Lin Shouxi rubbed his temples and said, "And... maybe I fell too hard before, and I can't remember many things clearly."

"It's like this..." Xiaohe looked at him, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You are so good-looking, sweeping the floor is too wasteful, you should go and recruit female disciples for the master."

"In this way, Shimen will become a nunnery?" Lin Shouxi joked occasionally.

"A nunnery? What's that?"

"It's a sect of women, that's what we call it in our hometown."

"Oh..." Xiaohe suddenly realized, "You are narcissistic."

The two laughed together.

Xiaohe's smile quickly subsided, she felt someone looking at her from behind, Lin Shouxi turned her head together with her, just in time to see the old woman who delivered food walking towards the yard with a cane.

"She walks silently." Xiaohe said.

"You make no sound when you walk." Lin Shouxi said.

"It's not the same. This old lady probably has no feet." Xiaohe said softly, as if she was afraid that the old lady would hear.

"No feet?" Lin Shouxi frowned, and asked, "How can you walk without feet? Floating like a ghost?"

"Maybe it's not the old woman walking." Xiaohe narrowed her eyes and said, "Maybe the crutches are leading her."

"Take her with a cane?" Lin Shouxi felt strange.

"Yes, maybe there is an old woman who walks with a cane every day for many years. The old woman died, but the crutch gave birth to spirituality. The body walks around, doing what the old lady did when she was alive." Xiaohe said softly.

"Is it like this?" Lin Shouxi was slightly at a loss.

"My guess."

"Oh……"

"Don't you feel scared?" Xiaohe stared at him with watery eyes.

"Fear."

"Hmph, liar."
