I will bury the gods

Chapter 91 Mu Shijing's Gauntlet
Xiaoyu's crisp voice came from the sword, resounding in the sea of ​​consciousness, Lin Shouxi frowned, and confirmed again: "Is there really no such person as Zhong Wushi?"

"No." Xiaoyu said firmly.

This was the first task assigned by the master, and Xiaoyu was particularly careful. She went through the list many times, until her mother became suspicious before returning it.

Lin Shouxi's fingers holding the sword turned white from the force, and he closed his lips tightly, his thoughts racing.

Just now, he put silver coins into the wishing lamp. After Sanhua Mao asked a question, this seemingly omnipotent evil lamp only gave a vague answer: 'time'.

Sanhuamao immediately concluded that it must be Zhong Wushi's evil-cutting boss Xiaobailian who did it, and pulled Lin Shouxi to punish him. Lin Shouxi was not busy making a conclusion, but was waiting for Xiaoyu's investigation, and Xiaoyu's answer further locked the target .

Lin Shouxi couldn't figure it out, since Zhong Wushi wanted to pretend to be the person of Shenshou Shanzhan Xiesi, why did he use a pseudonym that could not be found?Although the sky is high and the emperor is far away here, no one will check this matter, but such a mistake is a hidden danger after all.

Who is that clockless?Is he a shadow?And why did he want to kill people in Three Realms Village?
I am afraid that only Zhong Wushi knows these questions.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Shouxi expressed his thanks.

Xiaoyu also showed a cute smile, "This is what disciples should do, and disciples will do more things for Master in the future!"

"Then thank you Xiaoyu in advance as a teacher."

"Master, you are welcome."

Xiaoyu shook his head, his smile was like the sunshine in early spring, pure and innocent, from which he could reflect the scene of the announcement of all things.Lin Shouxi felt warm.

"Master, what are you doing now? Are you running a race with the little cat?" Xiaoyu looked at the swaying shadow and asked.

"Well, I'm training with it."

"Master is so powerful, do you still need training?"

"Of course, practicing sword and body is not something that can be done overnight, so don't slack off."

Xiaoyu showed a look of admiration. When she thought of the days when she skipped classes and took errands to sleep in, she became more ashamed. Her pink mouth moved, and she said sincerely, "It would be great if I knew Master sooner."

Lin Shouxi's heart softened when he heard the little girl's soft words, "It's not too late, I will supervise Xiaoyu."

Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "That's right! I'm going to compete with them in three days, and I will definitely not humiliate my master by then."

"Well, I believe in Xiaoyu."

"What about Master? When will Master fight with that bad woman again? That night she was so arrogant even after losing. The more I think about it, the more I get angry. Master must teach her a good lesson next time, and I must not let it go." Xiao Yu Still thinking about it.

"Don't worry, you will win as a teacher." Lin Shouxi said.

"Well, if master can't beat her, then wait for Xiaoyu to help master beat her when she grows up." Xiaoyu looked like he was fighting against the enemy.

"it is good."

Lin Shouxi replied with a smile, the little girl's words were innocent, he would not take it seriously, if he really wanted to wait for her to help him, how embarrassing would he be?

Lin Shouxi crossed the black bamboo forest and returned to the fairy village. The three-flowered cat showed a rare and light figure. It jumped onto the roof and looked around vigilantly to see if there was any movement of the enemy.

In the middle of the sword, Xiaoyu just said goodbye to her master. She grabbed the bucket and shovel and was ready to dig carrots.

Lin Shouxi suppressed his expression, concealed his breath, and sneaked into Zhong Wushi's mansion together with Sanhuamao. There were flowers and plants in Zhong Wushi's mansion, and there were maids in the mansion, which was very rouge.

The three-flowered cat walked across the courtyard wall, cleverly avoiding the maid's sight, jumped into the lush leaves, and then used it as a pedal to jump to the second floor.

They didn't act rashly, but wanted to eavesdrop and see if they could catch Zhong Wushi.

After half an hour passed, neither Lin Shouxi nor Sanhua Mao noticed anything unusual about him.

Zhong Wushi was dressed in white, with a red mole on the center of his brow, and was reading papers at his desk, occasionally frowning and talking to himself, what he was talking about was also the tragedy that happened in Sanjie Village last night, it seemed that he was worried about it and didn't know anything about it.

"Hmph, I really know how to act..." Sanhuamao cursed.

It has feelings for most of the people in the fairy village, but it has been dissatisfied with this little boy from Shenshan for a long time. There is no other reason, it is nothing more than that this little boy looks gloomy and uncomfortable.

Time passed slowly, and Zhong Wushi never showed any flaws. Waiting like this is not an option. Lin Shouxi grabbed the cat and quietly left the house, and instead directly chose to knock on the door to visit.

"Young Master Lin, do you have a clue? Hmm...why is your lord here?"

When Zhong Wushi saw Lin Shouxi coming in with the cat, he was surprised and hurried to meet him.

"There are indeed clues." Lin Shouxi said.

"What?" Zhong Wushi asked seriously.

Lin Shouxi didn't say it directly, he just picked a chair and sat down, chatted like a family, and asked Zhong Wushi something about Shenshou Mountain, Zhong Wushi answered fluently, as if he had really lived there for many years.

Zhong Wushi's answer is extremely true and detailed, if the other party is also a person who has lived in Shenshou Mountain for many years, I am afraid that he will hit it off right away.

Lin Shouxi has never been to Shenshou Mountain, so it is even more difficult to find faults.

So Lin Shouxi stopped being polite to him, he took out the mantra stone from his pocket and put it in front of Zhong Wushi, hoping that he would answer the questions one by one.

Zhong Wushi was taken aback, "Are you guys doubting me?"

"This is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple appointed by the deity. He will handle this case. Whoever needs to fully cooperate." Sanhuamao chimed in: "The deity does not doubt you, but everyone. Before coming here, We have already asked thirteen and a half families."

"That's right, the people who cut evil are all gentlemen under the dangerous wall. Of course we believe that Mr. Zhong is innocent, and this is just a routine." Lin Shouxi smiled and said.

Zhong Wushi hesitated for a moment, but took the Mantra Stone and held it in his palm.

Lin Shouxi raised several questions one after another, and Zhong Wushi answered them one by one.

The mantra stone is silent.

If he didn't have the means to shield the stone of truth like Xiaohe, then Zhong Wushi might really be innocent.

Sanhuamao was aggressive at first, but now it has no confidence... Could it be that the wishing lamp is not talking about Zhong Wushi, but someone else?

Then why did this broken lamp only give one word...Could it be a silver coin for one word, that would be too deceitful.

Sanhuamao felt even more desperate when he thought about the emptiness and emptiness of his money recently.

Zhong Wushi didn't get any useful information here, so Lin Shouxi had no choice but to leave with the cat.

"What should I do now? Why don't I ask for another two silver coins on credit?" Sanhuamao suggested.

"Where do you go for credit?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"You can go to Du Qie or Ouyi Granny, both of them are good." Sanhuamao replied.

"Ah."

Lin Shouxi nodded.

Before leaving, his eyes accidentally glanced at the tree in front of Zhong Wushi's gate. There were many ants crawling on the tree. The ant on the top bit a leaf firmly with its pliers-like mouth and remained motionless. Its kind is approaching it.

Lin Shouxi was thoughtful.

They first went to Ouyi Granny.

The granny in clothes lived in a deep, dead house, and the windows were covered with paper to block the light. The granny was wearing a shroud, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and was carefully sewing a skin bag on the shelf in front of her. There is a coffin behind her, which is where she sleeps.

"Mother-in-law."

The three-flowered cat raised its paw and waved to the old woman.

The old woman stopped her needlework, turned her head, looked at the three-flowered cat standing in the light, and smiled dully, "My lord is here."

"Yes, yes, I'm here to see my mother-in-law." Sanhuamao ran to the old woman's side.

"I think you are here to look for new clothes?" The old woman pierced its intentions.

"The same, the same." The three-flowered cat wagged its tail, but didn't shy away from it, "Where did the mother-in-law sew?"

"It's still a bit worse." The old woman said with a smile, her eyes fell on Lin Shouxi: "This is..."

"Oh, this is the imperial bodyguard of the deity, responsible for investigating the strange things that happened in the Three Realms Village in the past two days." Sanhuamao said.

The old lady nodded and invited him in too.

Lin Shouxi walked into this lifeless room. Everything in the room was very old, and the corners of the tables and chairs were even covered with starch. The exquisite puppet clothes were hung casually in the room like a piece of paper. A piece of peeling human skin, but not a drop of blood can be seen.

"Actually, you are here to interrogate me, the old woman?" the old woman asked with a smile.

"Well...not really." Sanhuamao hesitated and said: "Actually, this deity is here to borrow money."

"What? Your lord doesn't even want to leave the coffin to the old woman?" the old woman said with a smile.

"No, no, everything is for the purpose of catching bad guys, and it's definitely not for the deity to search for people's fat and people's anointing without authorization." Sanhuamao quickly explained.

The old woman shook her head, "You can't catch him."

"Why?" Lin Shouxi immediately became alert.

"Because this is not man-made, but the revenge of the Dragon God..." The old woman stared at the puppet in front of her, and said with a sense of loss: "This land is the land of the Dragon God, and we are all reckless intruders... The Dragon God The curse has begun to be fulfilled, and we will all die one by one."

"Dragon God? Curse?"

What's going on here?

The old lady's answer far exceeded Lin Shouxi's expectation.

"Outsider, do you know the origin of the Scale Worship Festival?" the old woman asked.

"I would like to hear the details." Lin Shouxi would not let go of any clues.

Ouyi Granny sat in a grand teacher's chair and began to tell the story of hundreds of years ago.

"This land was originally the resting place of the real dragon. The dragon's domain is sacred and no outsiders are allowed to step in. When our ancestors came here, they happened to witness the new life of the dragon breaking out of the ground..."

The old woman was talking leisurely about the past. When she was a little girl, she saw the scene of the ground cracking and the bones rising into the sky. It was a nightmare that had lingered in her mind for more than three hundred years. The pressure made me breathless.

"At that time, it was still snowing heavily, and the ground was covered with unbelievably hard frozen soil, but this kind of hard-to-pry soil was easily torn apart under the claws of the giant dragon. We were kneeling in the snow. As long as it turns its head and looks here, we will all become corpses buried in the ice and snow."

"But it doesn't..."

"It flapped its wings, and the wind gathered under the wing bones, carrying it to fly to the south... The Scale Worship Festival is the day when the dragon ascends..."

Among the people who have lived to this day, the old woman is a rare witness to that scene. More and more people have died recently. The old woman is eager to tell the scene that is buried deep in her heart. beliefs and fears.

Not to mention Lin Shouxi, even Sanhuamao was shocked. She once heard Du Qie say that this land is a blessed land. Only then did I suddenly realize that there is such a history here.

"That was really a long, long time ago. At that time, we witnessed the dragon fly away, fled this land in fear, and came back many years later, but at that time, the dragon had long since disappeared, and the rotten and dirty land On the land, a sacred tree grew inexplicably—that is, the sacred mulberry tree today, but the sacred mulberry tree was still very young at that time, and it was far from growing like it is today."

Most of the old woman's memories are blurred, but the things about the dragon and the sacred tree 300 years ago are as clear as yesterday.

"It turns out that the mulberry tree grew at that time..." Sanhuamao said suddenly.

This tree is much younger than I imagined.

"Yes, the divine mulberry tree has purified the surrounding land, so we can live here."

Ouyi's mother-in-law sighed, and said: "But at the beginning, my teacher did not agree to live here. She said that this is the former residence of the dragon, and the residence of the dragon is the realm of the gods. Mortals are never allowed to invade. We step into it without authorization." Once we leave its territory, its curse will haunt us, and we will never be able to escape..."

"It turns out that the curse has come true..." Sanhuamao's back felt cold.

"Of course." Granny Ouyi's words became more and more intense: "It's not like you haven't seen their dead appearances. There are no signs, no wounds, and they are as peaceful as sleeping... What is this if it is not the curse of the gods? Besides the gods. Is there anything that can be done? Teacher...is right."

Lin Shouxi listened quietly. He believed in the legend of Ouyi Granny, but he didn't believe in the so-called curse.

How can there be a curse that only broke out in 300 years, let alone at this point in time?He still felt that the murderer was in Three Realms Village.

"Grandma, do you still remember the color of the pupils of that dragon corpse?" Lin Shouxi's mood suddenly changed, and he asked mysteriously.

The old lady recalled briefly, and gave an affirmative answer: "The pupil of the blue."

……

After hearing the legend about the dragon corpse, Sanhuamao suddenly remembered that the villains in the Devil's Nest also wanted to turn it into a dragon.

Will I also become a monster covered in bones, with a heart like a tumor, and pupils on fire... This is too scary, how can there be a cat that is cute... Sanhuamao thought tremblingly.

It raised its head, only to see that Lin Shouxi's face also seemed to be covered with dark clouds.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Sanhuamao scratched the corner of his clothes.

Lin Shouxi shook his head, but did not answer.Back then in the domain of the gods, Chu Yingchan once said that the Dragon King with the blue pupils was a peerless monster between the hidden life level and the ancient level. Back then, it broke through the god's wall and attracted the patriarch's dharma body.

This was an old event 300 years ago. This blue dragon should also be subdued, and the bones were soaked in turbidity to prevent it from reviving.

This was obviously nothing to do with him, but for some reason, his heart seemed to be seized by panic and anxiety, and he jumped violently, as if something bad was about to happen to him.

Lin Shouxi took a deep breath, and his movement of trying to take out the mantra stone stopped.

He could indeed gather all the people in the fairy village and ask them one by one with the mantra stone, but that would be too inefficient. It might be dark after the questioning, and there might not be any results.

Is there any other way to lure that person out...

On the other side, Granny Ouyi seemed to have seen through life and death. She didn't care about the coming night and was still smiling kindly.

She stroked the three-flowered cat's head and asked, "My lord, do you want to see what your puppet looks like?"

"Hey, isn't the puppet not ready yet?" Sanhuamao asked curiously.

"To make puppet clothing, you need to draw first, and then sew according to the drawing. Grandma can show you the drawing." Puppet mother-in-law said with a smile.

Sanhuamao immediately agreed, and she had been curious about this matter for a long time.

Ouyi Granny led the cat to the inner hall and came to a painting. The mother-in-law lifted the cloth covering the painting, and a fresh and bright painting was placed in front of Sanhuamao.

The girl in the painting is kneeling under the mulberry tree, with fluffy pointed ears and a silver-gray fish in her mouth. Looking back, the pale green eyes reflect light, which are clear and transparent, and the strands of slender hair are also Like a cloth belt, the place where the sun shines on it is bud yellow, and the shadow is blue-gray. She has a pure face, but her shoulders are bare, and a buckle-style translucent skirt goes around her hips. A tail emerges from it, curved gracefully, with a bow tied near the end.

And those snow-white slender arms were covered with white gloves of golden lace. She pressed the ground with one hand and supported her leaning forward body, while the other hand was doing the cat's iconic movements.

"so beautiful……"

Sanhua Mao looked at himself in the painting, and was a little crazy for a while.

The old lady smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

"But... isn't it a dragon? Why is it a cat?" Sanhuamao asked curiously.

"Don't you like cats more?" The old lady rubbed its head and said, "What's more... Your lord, you will surely rule a farther land in the future. You have such a benevolent heart, and you are a dragon What difference does it make if it's a cat?"

Sanhuamao nodded in a daze, suddenly feeling unconfident about the title of Lord.

After visiting Granny Ouyi, Lin Shouxi went to Du Qie's house again. Du Qie was not at home. According to the servant, he sneaked to Longlin Town to find out the situation.

Just when Lin Shouxi was at a loss for finding the murderer, a letter broke the deadlock.

This letter is from the Devil's Nest.

It was sent by messengers in the evening.

The content of the letter is very simple. Demon Nest invites Three Realms Village to reconfirm the ownership of Longlin Town in a duel tomorrow.

This is a gauntlet.
