I will bury the gods

Chapter 85 Death is coming
Xiaoyu knelt softly in front of the sword, the hair that fell from both sides stuck to her cheeks full of tears, her red eyes were filled with mist, and the sleeves of the sword robe were stained with wet marks from wiping, she was shining brightly. His lips moved, and after uttering the word "Master", they immediately tightened, extremely nervous, as if he had done something presumptuous.

Lin Shouxi leaned on the old chair, looked at the lovely and pitiful little girl, but did not respond.

Xiaoyu was even more aggrieved, she kept saying 'Xiaoyu is wrong', tears fell down, her nose wrinkled and wrinkled, she looked very sour, after she broke down a little, Lin Shouxi finally spoke:
"Xiaoyu, do you really want to win?"

"Thinking, thinking..." Xiaoyu muttered.

"Then are you willing to work hard?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Well... yes, yes." Xiao Yu had just been caught cheating, and her words became more and more emboldened.

"Are you willing or not?" Lin Shouxi said coldly.

"Yes!" Xiaoyu straightened her back, like a frightened deer.

Lin Shouxi looked at the girl with her small breasts, thought for a moment, and felt that she was so lazy. Apart from being pampered since childhood, she lacked motivation at all.

"Xiaoyu, you practice hard to win, so why do you win?" Lin Shouxi asked seriously.

Xiaoyu was a little confused, she blinked her eyes, subconsciously bit her finger, thought for a while, and then said tentatively, "In order not to be ashamed?"

"Other than that?"

"Besides this..." Xiaoyu bit her finger and thought for a while, then asked, "Is there anything else besides this?"

Lin Shouxi was speechless for a moment, he soon understood that she lived in a very good environment, never encountered any danger, and lived freely and happily every day, so whether to lose face or not has become a big thing.

Xiaoyu seemed to understand Lin Shouxi's thoughts. She said, "Although the outside world is dangerous, it's not something we need to worry about."

"why?"

"Because we have a god wall, which can keep out all dangers... We have come here peacefully like this for generations." Xiaoyu said softly, with worship in his words, like a high wall It is the emperor they obey.

"What if the wall collapses?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"The wall... how could the wall collapse?" Xiaoyu couldn't understand.

Her home is not far from the city wall, so she has been to the city wall more than once, and has admired the miracle that stretches thousands of miles and towers like a mountain. She knows that the wall is so strong that even a sharp awl cannot penetrate into any cracks in the stone bricks. , what kind of mighty power can shake it... Xiaoyu can't imagine.

Lin Shouxi didn't want to talk too much with her, he just said, "Xiaoyu, you need a longer-term goal."

"Ok!"

Xiao Yu also felt that what he said made sense, "But what is the goal..."

"Ask yourself, what do you need and want most." Lin Shouxi guided her to think.

"Well, let me think about it..."

While wiping her cheeks with her sleeve, Xiaoyu was thinking hard. She has no worries about food and clothing, and her living conditions are good, so she has nothing to desire. As for her spirit... a moment later, she had a flash of inspiration, stretched out her little finger, and said, "Let's make a Make a deal!"

"Agreement?"

"Yes! Promise!" Xiaoyu asked, "Brother is outside the mountain now, right?"

"Ah."

"Then you will come to Shenshan in the future, right?"

"Maybe."

"In this way, next time we meet, let's have a competition. If I can win, then brother must unconditionally agree to my request. If brother wins, then I will..."

"At your disposal" was stuck in her throat. Before she could say it, Lin Shouxi took the lead and interrupted her words coldly:
"Then you and I will sever the master-student relationship, and I will never see you again."

Xiaoyu was stunned on the spot, and belatedly realized that she had dug a big hole for herself.

Lin Shouxi didn't mean to scare her intentionally, he just felt that thunderous means must be used to deal with such a lazy little girl. He didn't give Xiaoyu time to justify and make amends, so he immediately said:
"The agreement has been made, wait for me to come to you in the future."

"I..." When Xiaoyu came back to his senses, it was too late, so he could only nod weakly, "Then, then you have to come later, if you come too early, Xiaoyu has no choice but to surrender..."

Lin Shouxi didn't nod or shake his head, just said: "You win the competition in five days first, otherwise everything will be empty talk."

"Oh, I see."

Xiaoyu mustered up her strength and courage again after a short period of depression. She wiped away her tears and regrouped, "Then I... can I call you Master?"

"As you wish." Lin Shouxi said lightly.

Xiaoyu showed a look of joy, she leaned down, and lightly touched the paper used for cheating with her injured forehead: "Disciple Xiaoyu pays homage to Master!"

"Ah."

Lin Shouxi nodded. Although he had a cold face, he couldn't help but feel unbearable when he saw the cute appearance of the little girl Lihua with rain. , as a teacher..."

"I really knew I was wrong."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaoyu immediately folded her hands to show that she knew her mistakes and could correct them. She bit her bright lips, not daring to look directly at the sword in front of her, and shyly said: "If I dare to make mistakes again, I, I Just beat myself for Master."

This... what is this?
Lin Shouxi was also taken aback, but he was quite satisfied with Xiaoyu's enthusiastic appearance at the moment, and he was not sure whether he would accept disciples in the future, but at least this was the first one. Yu Li should also be taken seriously.

"Okay, let's start." Lin Shouxi said.

"Hey, now, now?" Xiaoyu was a little surprised.

"You still want to be lazy?"

"No, I don't want to."

Xiaoyu immediately lay down on the ground, with a tight body and slender legs, covering her face with one hand, and holding the wooden sword used for sword practice in the other, she landed clumsily, and slapped her little buttocks. Long and narrow folds were left on the soft sword coat.

"You... what are you doing?" Lin Shouxi asked in astonishment.

"Hey, I'm punishing myself... Didn't Master tell me to start?" Xiaoyu also asked in surprise.

"..." Lin Shouxi took a deep breath, "I want you to start practicing swords as a teacher."

"Ah... oh, master, please explain clearly."

Xiaoyu's cheeks were even more blushing, she stood up like lightning, messily sorted out the cheating papers in front of her, read them roughly, and began to practice swords.

While watching, Lin Shouxi patiently explained to her, explaining the power point of the moves and the way to win.

Xiaoyu listened carefully like never before, and it was also the first time she knew that there were so many tricks in the seemingly simple chopping and stabbing. Although these tricks were not fancy, they all revealed the sharpness of a sword. The experience gained in exchange for life and death can be seen dripping with blood in every gesture.

Xiaoyu listened quietly, immersed in it.

Gradually, she felt that the originally blunt moves came alive in her mind. They were like invisible trickles, injected into the blood through her thoughts, and then flowed through her whole body with the blood as a medium.

After she really put her heart and soul into it, it only took half an hour for half a set of swordsmanship to go from unfamiliarity to familiarity.

Lin Shouxi was amazed by her talent, but also realized how much this girl had wasted her talent before.

While practicing the sword, there was a knock on the door, and Xiaoyu was startled. She even forgot to cut off the connection with the sword and went to open the door.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here again? Have you recovered from your illness, so you know how to run around."

It was a woman's voice, with reproach in the gentle words... It seemed to be Xiaoyu's mother.

"Hmm...Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu is training her body here." Xiaoyu said in a hurry.

"Body training?" The woman was confused.

"That's right, here is full of sword intent, and it's the most suitable for body training. Staying here, I feel that my illness has improved a lot." Xiaoyu laughed.

"Really? Let mother see it too." The woman said softly.

"Hey! Don't come in." Xiaoyu opened his arms to stop him.

But her young body couldn't stop her, the woman directly picked her up and entered the house together.

"I used to imprison you in this small sword tower, but you were unwilling in every possible way, but now you are not imprisoned, but you came by yourself... The servants at home were in a hurry, and searched all the trees in the yard, but couldn't find it. You are so scared to report to me." The woman smiled and shook her head, pinching Xiaoyu's cheek.

"Why are you looking for a tree? I haven't climbed a tree for a long time..." Xiaoyu really didn't want to admit that one of her childhood hobbies was tree climbing.

Recently she climbed less, not because of anything else, but because every time she got up, she couldn't get down. Although it was quiet and pleasant to watch the scenery from the tree, it was humiliating every time she called for help.

The woman was still looking at the sword building, she looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the paper manuscript in front of a certain ancient sword.

She put down Xiaoyu, picked up the manuscript paper and flipped through it, and realized in her heart that this little girl hid in the small building to practice swords. Is it gone... But it's good, I finally know how to work hard.

"I'm not practicing swords, I'm painting for fun!" Xiaoyu argued, seeing her mother's smiling face.

"Well, the painting is not bad, Xiaoyu has become more powerful." Niangqin said with a smile.

"That is." Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips, very proud.

She was sorting out the sketches casually, and she didn't know what she noticed, and her eyes suddenly fell on the ancient sword in front of her.

She stared at the ancient sword.

The connection between Lin Shouxi and the sword has not yet been severed. Across the void, he and Xiaoyu's mother's eyes met. The woman's eyes seemed to reflect rippling light but were still so frighteningly quiet. , sometimes only a little paint is left.

Even if she didn't see him, even if they were far apart, Lin Shouxi still felt suffocated for a moment, and three words flashed in his mind inexplicably - the realm of human beings and gods.

Before the woman touched the ancient sword with her hand and probed the net of knowledge, he cut off his consciousness in time, and let Zhan Gong flicker without responding.

Xiaoyu was also extremely nervous. She stood behind her mother for fear that this big secret would be discovered.

In the end, the woman let go of her hand, her expression returned to tranquility, and Xiaoyu also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, praising Master for his cleverness in his heart.

"Mother, I will train my body here from now on, okay?" Xiaoyu asked.

"Well, the whole family is yours. It's better for you to come here than to climb a tree." Seeing her daughter working so hard, she would never refuse.

"Thank you mother." Xiaoyu stretched out her hand to hug her.

The woman hugged her.

Xiaoyu recalled the teacher's question from before, and felt worried, so he hurriedly asked his mother, "By the way, mother, will our divine wall...will collapse?"

"Of course not." The woman said softly, "The god wall has been blessed by the emperor, and it has stood for a thousand years without falling down. How could it collapse?"

"What if it collapses?" Xiao Yu worried about the wall.

"If it collapses, there will still be gods guarding the mountain, and gods will guard the mountain." The woman comforted.

Only then did Xiaoyu feel relieved.

Seeing that her daughter was worried about the country and the people, mother was even more delighted, and asked dotingly: "What would Xiaoyu want to eat tonight, mother is free today, so I will make it for you myself."

"Okay." Xiaoyu agreed without hesitation, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "I want to drink carrot soup!"

"Then...Xiaoyu will go dig the radishes, and mother will cook the soup." The woman smiled and assigned the work.

"Okay! I'm good at digging radishes!" Xiaoyu was in high spirits.

……

Lin Shouxi rubbed his temples, calming his mind. The gray haze among the craggy mountains has not dissipated, and the faint sound of water can be heard below.

Longlin Town is composed of several big mountains. There is water under the deep stream. The water comes from the turbid river surrounding the Sanjie Mountains. It is not drinkable and can only support some special fishes.

Lin Shouxi listened to the sound of water for a while, and when he turned his head, he saw that the Sanhuamao was still thinking, and seemed to be writing quickly.

Out of love for the paper, Lin Shouxi patted it on the head and interrupted it.

Sanhuamao hated being interrupted when he was creating, so he jumped on him angrily, and waved his cat's claws again and again. Although it failed to cause any harm, it also eloquently proved that he was not easy to mess with!
Lin Shouxi took the cat and left the small and dark room.

"By the way, have you asked them to build ships these days?" Sanhuamao asked.

"Yes." Lin Shouxi did not deny it.

"What are you doing shipbuilding?" Sanhuamao asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you want to bypass the Zhuojiang River?"

"Isn't it possible?" Lin Shouxi asked back.

He couldn't find a solution to the dense fog that closed the mountain, but he believed that no matter how long the fog was, there would always be an end. He couldn't just spend his days here, he had to try a way to leave.

"How would I know..." Sanhuamao seemed unhappy, "I only know that the water flows upstream, and there is a cruel god living in the water."

"Cruel god?" Lin Shouxi shook his head lightly, thinking it was a three-flowered cat bluffing himself.

Seeing Lin Shouxi's attitude, Sanhuamao showed a fierce face again, "I kindly reminded you, and there has been a saying that dragon scales suppress evil water here since ancient times, don't take it seriously!"

"Then tell me, what kind of evil spirits are down there?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Do you know how many great magic arts in the world?" Sanhuamao asked again.

"The art of transforming gods?"

"Hmph, I know you don't know!"

Sanhuamao also noticed that although the black-clothed boy in front of him is powerful, he lacks knowledge in cultivation. It sat on Lin Shouxi's shoulder and said coquettishly: "There are many techniques for transforming gods, such as swallowing and drinking the marrow. If you are lucky enough to refine it, you can obtain the godhead. It is also like refining a divine weapon into the body. The method of transforming gods..."

Sanhuamao paused, and spit out two words in a gloomy tone: "Suicide."*
"Suicide?" Lin Shouxi asked, "Is there any way inside?"

"Of course." Sanhuamao said: "The first thing you need to do before committing suicide is to forget yourself! You must forget to talk, forget to walk, forget everything, even forget your own existence, and only remember one thing—death."

"Next, you can carefully choose your favorite way of death... falling, drowning, strangulation, self-immolation, suffocation, beheading... In short, you can commit suicide in any way you can imagine. If you succeed, you will have It is possible to obtain the godhead and become the corresponding god. Of course, there can only be one place for each method of death, and the early death and early conferment of gods, these gods have a unified name-the god of death."

This is a staggeringly absurd thing. If Sanhuamao's tone was not very serious, Lin Shouxi would only think that this is a fantasy and would not believe it.

God of death... Lin Shouxi couldn't help but think of the Fengdu underworld in the legends of the old world where thousands of ghosts gather and gather evil spirits. He doesn't know if such a place really exists in this world.

"Is there any benefit to being such a god?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Of course there is." Sanhuamao said: "It can be strong and long-lived... In short, for ordinary people who are doing nothing, this is almost a step up to the sky. According to legend, if someone sees the god of death, it will not take long. Die for its corresponding god."

"So there is a god of death hidden in this turbid river?" Lin Shouxi asked quietly, staring at the rushing river covered by the heavy haze.

"Yes, it is said that this turbid river is the residence of the God of Drowning."

Sanhuamao said in a whisper: "This deity is not alarmist. If you don't believe me, you can go back to Sanjie Village and ask. There are many people who have witnessed the God of Drowning with their own eyes. They drowned without exception after returning home. Those who drowned in the bath, drowned in drinking water, and even Zai Mao... Forget it, it's scary anyway, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your fiancée."

"Are you not willing to let me go?" Lin Shouxi asked with a smile.

"Of course!" The three-flowered cat was very straightforward, and it patted Lin Shouxi on the shoulder, "The devil's nest is not settled, the world is not yet settled, as the prime minister, you will die as a grass, how can you easily abandon the army and leave?"

Lin Shouxi didn't speak, but just stared at the water surface, his face was serious, always giving Sanhua Mao a feeling that he was about to leave his burden and run away at any time.

"Hey, you are talking." Sanhuamao pushed him.

"Before the god of drowning appears, will there be any signs?" Lin Shouxi asked mysteriously.

"A sign..." Sanhua Mao thought for a while and said, "It is said that there will be a reverse vortex on the surface of the water. It's time to cover your eyes, or death will rise from the water later and watch you."

Lin Shouxi stared at the blurred water below, frowning.

"What's the matter? Why are you in a daze? Could it be that you were frightened?" Sanhuamao patted his head.

Lin Shouxi suddenly raised his hand to cover Sanhuamao's eyes.
