His tone was cool, his breath was cool, as cool as his hands and scabbard.
The dark scabbard finally pressed against his lips and didn't move.
Bone cold.
Lin Shu raised his hand to hold the scabbard and took it away.
tick.
Blood flowed from Xiao Shao's eyes one after another and fell to the ground.
Lin Shu looked at Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao's scabbard trembled slightly.
The mask covered most of his face, and he couldn't see the expression clearly. Lin Shu didn't know how to describe the gesture of trying to get closer, but restraining himself not to go forward.
Lin Shu raised his hand again, trying to remove Xiao Shao's mask.
He thought, what is Xiao Shao in front of him
Is it an illusion derived from his heart, or is it Xiao Shao himself
If he imagined it, then... it means that he has always had doubts about his relationship with Xiao Shao.
And if this is Xiao Shao, or Xiao Shao who was affected by the illusion, it means that he does not show any performance on weekdays, but he is still brooding about this matter in his heart, and even feels... painful for it.
Lin Shu frowned slightly.
The opposite Xiao Shao leaned slightly, got closer to him, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk anymore?"
Lin Shu took a step back.
Xiao Shao let out an almost inaudible laugh.
A very light breath, even more like a self-deprecating sigh, made Lin Shu feel that the person in front of him seemed to be hurt.
He didn't come forward.
They were deadlocked in the dimly lit room.
After half a stick of incense, Lin Shu suddenly drew his sword!
He didn't use any other moves, and directly stabbed the man with the "Empty Valley Forgot to Return" in "Sauvignon Blanc"!
The sword light is Xiao Sa, the sword intent is full, and it brings up the whistling sound of the wind. It is a move that leaves no room for anything.
"Ding."
Worthy of being out of the scabbard, the "sorrowful autumn" style blocked the "empty valley and forgetting to return".
Lin Shu was startled.
Just in the midst of his dazed lightning and flint, "Sad Autumn" changed his move to "Tianhe", blocking all his escape routes!
Lin Shu was smashed against the wall by the huge impact force, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The man pressed him against the wall, with a smile on the corner of his red lips.
Lin Shu coughed a few times, his chest burning.
He thought, this person is not Xiao Shao.
Because he thought that this person was not Xiao Shao, he used the sword, but... the person on the other side actually resorted to "Sorrowful Autumn" and "Watching the River", both of which are the sword techniques in "Loneliness". .
So is it really an illusion
He doesn't think so.
That leaves only one outrageous possibility.
Lin Shu said: "...you are not Xiao Shao."
The man said softly, "Then who am I?"
Lin Shu decided to go all out and said, "You are a great witch."
The man laughed.
"Pavilion Master..." The voice in the ear gradually changed its tone: "So you are also considered smart."
Lin Shu took a few breaths with difficulty, looked up at him, and saw that Xiao Shao in front of him had disappeared, turning into a great witch in blue clothes.
The big witch's eyes were dark red, and the outline of the facial features was actually lost due to the pale complexion, but the red lips restored this point. At that moment, Lin Shu understood the phrase "not like a human being" in Xiao Xuan's mouth.
The great witch asked, "Isn't it like that?"
Lin Shu shook his head.
Not much like.
The great witch said: "Where is the difference?"
Actually... it's very similar.
The tone, movements, are very similar, seamless.
Especially the two tricks "Sorrowful Autumn" and "Viewing the River" are very authentic.
Seeing that Lin Shu didn't speak, Da Wu tightened his grip on his neck again, with a paranoid tone: "... What's the difference?"
Lin Shu had difficulty breathing and thought a little suffocating, I can't say, is this a guess
I can't always say that it's because you didn't call me baby.
Not to mention, I don't think Xiao Shao will hit me.
When he said this, it really means being pampered and arrogant, and Lin Shu was a little embarrassed.
Admittedly, there is nothing wrong with Da Wu's performance.
However, Xiao Shao is not such a person - not someone who would question him "you don't like me".
This thing is a long story.
However, Da Wu's hand strength was not very strong, and he couldn't kill him in a short period of time, so Lin Shu had a little more time to think about it.
In fact, all along, he has not made much progress in dealing with people. But Xiao Shao, and Xiao Shao who has put on various shells, are the only people he can get along with without any pressure.
It is true that this person is moody and bad-tempered, and he is also very afraid of the eldest lady.
However, afraid of being afraid, he knew from the beginning that this person was a very upright and honest person.
What do you do to make him angry, this person will explode into a puffer fish.
The point is, when it's fried into puffer fish, he'll tell you why he fried it.
Then, as long as it is changed, the pufferfish will recover.
So he didn't think it was difficult to get along with Xiao Shao - he didn't need to speculate on what he did poorly to make people unhappy, and he didn't need to think hard about what he didn't like.
For example, at the very beginning, when they first met in the ghost village, the eldest lady wanted to throw this dirty little fool out.
Then the little fool became clean, and he was not thrown out.
For another example, he didn't know anything about the marriage certificate, which made the eldest lady almost draw a knife. After admitting her mistake, she made up again.
He felt that if Xiao Shao was really ruthless about this matter, there was a hurdle in his heart, he would have turned into that weak little phoenix long ago, and he would say it out loud.
Or, even if Xiao Shao didn't say anything and chose to be quietly angry, then he... I'm afraid he would have died of dehydration in Phoenix Villa long ago because he cried from the beginning to the end.
But why doesn't Xiao Shao care about this matter
Lin Shu was suddenly a little scared. After thinking about it, he couldn't get a result, and then he fainted.
He closed his eyes, decided he didn't want to, and then reopened his eyes to face the great witch.
The big witch is indeed a little paranoid.
The Great Witch continued to ask, "What's the difference?"
Lin Shu said, "You are not him."
The big witch let go of his hand expressionlessly.
Lin Shu had been suffocating for a long time, but he was suddenly released, his limbs let go, and he slid along the wall to the ground, coughing hard.
boom.
The wall on the other side of the doorway was shattered, apparently by someone.
Then there were footsteps.
Then someone hugged him from behind.
"Baby?"
Lin Shu leaned against the man behind him.
He thought this was the real Xiao Shao.
He coughed a few more times and explained the situation to Xiao Shao: "Da Wu..."
His voice was a little hoarse because he had been strangled by the Great Witch earlier.
"Good, don't talk for now." Xiao Shao shunned his back, "I heard it all."
Lin Shu didn't say anything, just let him hold it.
Just a little desperate.
Did you hear it all
What is the structure of this fantasy
Xiao Shao spoke very fast, and explained to him in a low voice: "The phoenix blood does not invade, the illusion has little effect on me. I was just investigating, here is a formation with a mirage as the core, which is actually similar to a dream. But I am under the control of the Great Witch, so I am late."
Lin Shu nodded.
Then he started to watch Da Wu and Xiao Shao look at each other.
Xiao Shao said: "Your Excellency asks him like that, what do you want to do?"
Da Wu said lightly, "I was curious for a while."
Lin Shu: "?"
Curious for a while
I was curious for a while, you pretended to be Xiao Shao and asked me if I liked him
He slowed down for a while, feeling that he could breathe smoothly, and then tugged at Xiao Shao's clothes.
Xiao Shao understood, let go of him, and then drew the knife out of the scabbard, the tip of the knife raised diagonally, pointing at the great witch.
Lin Shu reminded him: "He will know "Loneliness"."
Xiao Shao frowned slightly.
The witch's smile showed a hint of mystery: "I have no intention of fighting with you."
Xiao Shao: "I intend to fight with you."
The big witch coughed a few times, his face was a kind of morbidly pale, and he said slowly: "Below is the Land God Wonderland."
Xiao Shao smiled like a smile: "The next one is also."
Lin Shu: "…"
Nirvana is born.
The biggest trump card of the Phoenix Cultivation Technique can raise one's life to a higher level.
Xiao Shao is now in the tribulation period, so he can go to the realm of land gods.
The big witch also had a half-smile, "You, little phoenix... You are not yet full of wings, you shouldn't come."
Xiao Shao: "You appeared in a fantasy, not in reality, and you wanted to disturb the mood of the two of us, and win without a fight... You must be extremely weak, and today is the day you died."
Lin Shu quietly listened to the two of them.
What Xiao Shao said was learned.
At the beginning, the Academy had many partial courses, one of which taught the disciples how to talk to the enemy.
The great witch said: "If I can win with the illusion, why should I do it?"
Lin Shu felt that Dawu had also learned this course.
They chatted for a while longer.
Lin Shu watched silently, and suddenly felt that from a certain angle, the silhouettes of the two were somewhat similar.
Again, the difference is huge.
He was about to take a closer look, but the two of them had stopped talking, and he didn't know who made the move first, or maybe at the same time—no more talking to each other, each with a knife.
Both are worthy knives.
Evil energy, blood energy, instantly filled the entire room.
The demon sword roared, and the black air entangled.
Xiao Shao used "viewing the river".
Da Wu blocked back with "Watching the River".
Xiao Shao used "suffering spring".
Da Wu blocked back with "Hunchun".
The exact same moves are all from "Loneliness", but the styles are very different. Xiao Shao's way, Xiao Sa, is lonely, while Da Wu is very evil and extremely hostile.
Why did the great witch know these swordsmanship
Lin Shu was sure that he had never seen the last few tricks of "Loneliness".
In a flash, he suddenly saw Xiao Shao change his moves!
The trajectory of this move is extremely indescribable, there is no trace to be found, but it is harmonious and mysterious, full of energy, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and tired birds returning to their nests.
In the fierce fight, this Lingbo knife seemed to be a stroke of genius, and it went straight to the door of the big witch.
Lin Shu recognized it.
This style is called "Return to the Boat", it is not the sword technique in "Loneliness", nor is it the inheritance of Phoenix Villa.
This is a set of moves that Xiao Shao created many years ago.
Or... It was created because of him. It is said that Lin Shu was quiet and good-natured, which made him feel a lot more peaceful. Occasionally, he felt that he created a set of swordsmanship.
The big witch slanted the knife and drew a strange trajectory to block the move.
Xiao Shao's sword turned in shock, and the sword qi fell, like a heavy snow in the sky, blowing forward, blocking the retreat of the great witch.
Da Wu's right hand swiped, and countless sword shadows seemed to appear in the air, colliding with Xiao Shao's sword light!
This trick, Lin Shu also knows, is called "Snow Night", inspired by the time they roasted mice many years ago in the snow night.
And the big witch's moves are unknown.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
With Xiao Shao no longer using the advanced swordsmanship of "Loneliness" and other Phoenix Villas, and instead using the miscellaneous learning and self-creation of earlier years, the paths of these two people finally don't look like the same person.
The outcome is still unknown, but at least it's not like before... weird.
After tit-for-tat for a quarter of an hour, the two had already passed thousands of moves. After a stalemate, Xiao Shao's impeccable movement suddenly showed a flaw.
Lin Shu just wanted to speak out, but swallowed hard.
In the world, I am afraid that apart from himself, Xiao Shao is the one he knows best about martial arts.
This man did it on purpose.
I saw Xiao Shao's knife qi suddenly slashed to the right, and with the momentum of wind and thunder, he passed the breath he broke from the wall before and went to the next door.
Next door is the mirage.
The mirage let out a low hiss, and the entire tower suddenly trembled and shook.
Lin Shu understood, and immediately drew out his sword, the sword energy split the wall, revealing a huge hole.
He then went on to beat the mirage to death.
The shaking of the tower is more violent, and the illusion will be broken.
The figure of the great witch also began to fluctuate illusoryly.
Xiao Shao: "Who are you?"
Da Wu: "You insist on killing me?"
Xiao Shao: "I am determined to kill you."
The big witch smiled: "Then... I have no choice but to kill you."
The voice fell, the environment was completely shattered, Lin Shu's eyes were spinning, and he opened his eyes again, and he was already standing on the fifth floor of the tower, next to a dead mirage.
Xiao Shao next to him is still Xiao Shao, not the real Danzhu girl.
Lin Shu: "Or an illusion?"
Xiao Shao: "It's not like that."
The stairway that had disappeared appeared in front of them again. The wooden stairs were very long, twisting upwards, leading to a deep stone door.
This tower originally had only six floors—the next floor should be where the Great Witch was.
According to Xiao Shaofang's speculation, the great witch tried to use the illusion to repel them... which means that this person's real body may be really weak.
Lin Shu took out the bronze dice, entered the real body, and confirmed that Qingmingdongtian could enter normally.
Senior brother is still floating in the hall, see him coming, say hello: "Junior brother!"
Lin Shu replied "Senior brother", but when he was about to go out, he was stopped: "Senior brother, don't go!"
Lin Shu: "Huh?"
The senior brother pointed to the corner: "I don't know when your cat sneaked in! It's trembling there, is it sick!"
Lin Shu looked at the corner.
In the dark corner, two green eyes lit up, and a weak cat meow sounded: "Meow."
Then the cat stopped a step and came out hesitantly.
Lin Shu: "You want to follow?"
The cat's voice trembled: "Meow."
Lin Shu picked up the cowardly black cat and returned to reality.
Xiao Shao looked at the cat: "I'm not afraid."
The cat buried its head in Lin Shu's chest, frightened.
They continued to climb the stairs.
The stairs are long and endless.
Xiao Shao suddenly said: "The great witch asked you about your ruthlessness, probably because it was intentional for me to hear it, so as to disturb my mood."
Lin Shu thought about it and asked, "Do you care?"
Xiao Shao stopped.
Lin Shu looked up at him.
Xiao Shao said: "Of course you don't know about this."
Lin Shu tilted his head.
There is a slight smile in Xiao Shao's eyes: "Baby actually likes me very much."
Lin Shu: "Why?"
Xiao Shao said, "Come here."
Lin Shu leaned towards him.
Xiao Shao picked up the trembling cat from his arms, placed it on the handrail of the stairs, and then pulled his hand: "If you like someone, do you know what to do?"
Lin Shu shook his head.
"Before I came, for many years," Xiao Shao said softly, "no one likes you, so... the baby doesn't know what to do if he likes someone."
Lin Shu looked at Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao's voice was a little hoarse, and he took him into his arms and said, "I don't know what to do, I can only be obedient, that's why I'm so obedient."
Lin Shu quietly leaned on Xiao Shao's chest, with nowhere to put his hands, and lightly grabbed the corner of Xiao Shao's clothes.
His heart was empty, he seemed to understand, but he didn't.
The author has something to say: cat:
