Dialogue With Evil Gods: Become A Follower Of Tianzun At The Beginning

In April, the weather began to gradually warm up. After a day’s work, the farmers in Huaiyang County walked to the village with hoes on their shoulders. Su Lin wiped off the mud spots on his face, and turned his head to look at the sunset in the sky. Silently calculating the savings at home.

Last year's grain was still in surplus after paying the tax. If this year's situation was the same as last year, he would be able to raise enough money to go to the capital, take part in the imperial examination, and obtain fame.

"elder brother!"

A familiar voice came from behind, Su Lin turned his head, and a familiar figure ran barefoot from the entrance of the village.

"Lingyu, why are you here? Didn't you tell you to stay at home and practice calligraphy?"

"Brother! The family member of the Zhang family is here, saying that tomorrow is his young master's big day, so you should go early! The whole village is waiting to eat your cooking!" Su Lingyu said proudly.

"I knew this a long time ago, let's go, I just happened to be going back."

Su Lin touched the other person's head with a smile, picked up the hoe and walked to the village. The setting sun stretched the two figures, one tall and one short, into elongated lengths.

Su Lingyu jumped up and down beside Su Lin, pointed to the bamboo basket in Su Lin's hand and asked, "What is that?"

"Xiao'e kept clamoring for the grasshopper I caught yesterday," Su Lin said.

Su Lingyu frowned, and asked in confusion, "Who is Xiao'e?"

"Lingyu, sometimes you have a bit of a sense of humor." Su Lin laughed.

Su Lingyu frowned, shook her head, and stopped paying attention to Xiao'e in Su Lin's mouth.

Anyway, her brother has been weird since he was a child, and he often said some weird words, such as capital, proletarian, and the sense of humor just now.

Until now, she couldn't understand what humor was, and she didn't know what cells were.

Su Lingyu shook his head, and changed the topic: "Brother, have you heard? Wang Xiucai from the next village is dead. He hanged himself at Mr.'s house."

"Wang Xiucai is dead?" Su Lin frowned.

Wang Xiucai and him can be regarded as the friendship of gentlemen. Although the two people have great differences in status, they appreciate each other. In Wang Xiucai's eyes, Su Lin is a rare genius who knows the scriptures and poems without learning, quick thinking, and vision Uniquely, for the new decree promulgated by the emperor, he can guess the holy will with a little deliberation, and he hits it every time.

In Su Lin's eyes, Wang Xiucai is a talent with broad mind and strong sense of innovation. The most rare thing is that he is compassionate and compassionate.

Of course, Su Lin knew that he was not a genius. He was able to guess the holy will repeatedly because he was a time traveler like Zhu Jiuqin, the founding king of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, Zhu Jiuqin was a wise emperor.

After he overthrew Longzhao and ascended the throne, he vigorously reduced the tax burden, punished corrupt officials, improved farming tools such as dams and plows, invented advanced facilities such as hour hands, windmills, and waterwheels, and promulgated innovative laws to curb aristocratic families, greatly improving the level of national productivity. , quite popular with the people.

Ten years ago, Su Lin just crossed over. Hearing these deeds, he knew that Zhu Jiuqin was also a time traveler like him. Unfortunately, Zhu Jiuqin passed away a few days before his time travel, and Su Lin had no chance to meet this senior time traveler Meet and catch up.

Not long after that, Prince Zhu Minben succeeded to the throne. Although he was not as talented as his father, he treated the common people very well. Branch system.

From those new laws, Su Lin can vaguely see some shadows of modern laws, but from the details, he can see some pedantic and old-fashioned.

If he guessed correctly, Zhu Jiuqin should have left a guide book for social transformation for his son, but Zhu Min should not be a time traveler.

A few years ago, Su Lin heard that Wang Xiucai had gone to Longyuan County to study as a teacher. Before he left, he specially left a letter for him. In the letter, he was full of high spirits and ambitions. He didn't look like someone who would commit suicide at all. Why did he suddenly die?

"How did he die?" Su Lin asked.

"Grandpa said that he was crazy. He said that he and his husband's daughter knew each other and fell in love. This year, he planned to come to propose marriage, but this year, the woman was killed in the woods, her head was cut off, and her internal organs were also cut off. If something happens, the government wants to seek justice, but the government is naturally not happy, and hanged himself when something happens."

Su Lin was surprised when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "Why is the government not happy? Why are they not happy!"

"Brother! His husband doesn't have any daughter, just a son. Who does he know and fall in love with? Don't say that the husband has no daughter, and he didn't even find the body in the woods. Seeing Wang Xiucai pointing to an open space on the ground and saying that the body is there, everyone said he was crazy."

Su Lin frowned even tighter, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

The sky was getting dark, and the iron-gray sky covered it from the west. Su Lin and Su Lingyu walked into Huaiyang Village. The light was dim, and only the outlines of the village houses remained. The ground was motionless, Su Lin slowed down and shook his head helplessly.

Li Ergou from the village was lying here drunk again, and he was the same way last winter. If Su Xiao'e hadn't discovered it in time, he would have frozen to death under the tree.

Su Lin shook his head with a wry smile, and stepped forward to wake him up, but before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped and froze in place.

Under the old locust tree, a petite girl was lying on the ground. The scarlet blood soaked the yellow mud under her body. Her legs disappeared completely from the knees down. There were white bones exposed at the broken knees, and the bones were sharp, like some kind of creature. With brute force, the lower limbs were forcibly broken and torn off.

Su Lin felt like falling into an icehouse, the blood in his veins seemed to be frozen.

"Xiao'e? Xiao'e!"

Su Lin's voice was distorted by fear, he staggered and squatted down in front of Su Xiao'e, tremblingly lifted her up, but the younger sister in his arms had long since lost her vitality.

"Brother, why are you yelling all of a sudden?" Su Lingyu looked at Su Lin in surprise, puzzled.

Su Lin turned his head tremblingly, his eyes were red, and he looked at Su Lingyu in disbelief.

There was no trace of sadness or fear on her immature face, only puzzlement and doubt, and her eyes never fell on her younger sister.

Su Lin stared at Su Lingyu in shock, and hugged the corpse in his arms even tighter.

"Lingyu, can't you see it?" Su Lin said hoarsely.

Su Lingyu pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and shook her head in a panic: "Brother, I don't understand what you said? Why are you crying?"

"Xiao'e... your sister."

"I, it's just you and me in my family. This joke is not funny at all, not at all, not humorous at all!" Su Lingyu bit her lip, almost crying out of anxiety.

Su Lin was silent.

The matter of Wang Xiucai came to Su Lin's mind again. Su Lin suddenly understood why the other party died.

He gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and gave up continuing to ask.

The anomaly of the situation is already in front of us, and nothing can be changed by entangled in the details. The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of him and Su Lingyu, and to find out why Xiao'e was forgotten by Su Lingyu.

Is it a monster? Or evil cultivator? Or something else?

In the past ten years, he has never heard of such a thing, but now, he has to think about it.

Sorrow and fear eroded Su Lin's heart like a devil, but the sense of potential crisis overwhelmed the out-of-control emotions. Su Lin knew that he had more important things to do at this moment.

Su Lin gently put down her sister's body, lowered her center of gravity, and lay down next to the body, carefully observing the traces on the ground.

The yellow sand near the corpse was very clean, and there were no traces of rolling and dragging on the ground. Except for the place where Xiao'e lay, there was no obvious blood stains around, indicating that this was probably the first scene where Xiao'e was killed, and the murderer did not move the body.

Then the murderer...or the demon is very likely still around here.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Su Lingyu was terrified.

"Hush! Hide behind the big tree...don't make a sound." Su Lin pointed to the crooked neck tree at the entrance of the village, and made a silent movement.

Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment. Although she was very scared, she ran obediently behind the old locust tree, hugged the trunk and squatted down.

She glanced at Su Lin secretly, with a look of confusion in her terrified eyes. Although she didn't understand what happened, she knew that the big brother must be doing it for her good.

Su Lin looked around vigilantly, clenched the hoe in his hand, bowed his waist, and walked carefully towards the earthen house.

He had to ensure the safety of his home first, and then make plans after Su Lingyu was settled.

Their grandfather left the village to visit relatives three days ago, and it was impossible to come back so early according to the schedule, so there was no one at home.

Su Lin touched the rough wooden door with his palm, and gently pushed it open. The simple outer room can be seen at a glance, and there is nothing suspicious.

He tiptoed to the cloth curtain in the inner room, and slowly lifted it up with a hoe. The knee-high kang was leaning against the wall, and there was a dustpan in the corner. There was no place to hide in the narrow space, and the house was safe.

Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief, ran out of the house to the old locust tree, and dragged Su Lingyu into the house.

He came to the inner room and lifted the quilt from the kang, revealing a dry and cracked wooden partition. Su Lin clasped two fingers into the groove of the partition, exerted force with his finger tendons, and lifted the entire wooden partition. , the long and narrow scarlet wooden box appeared in front of them, and Su Lingyu next to her opened her mouth wide. She never knew that there was such a thing hidden in the house.

"It looks so expensive!" Su Lingyu exclaimed.

Su Lin took out the wooden box and opened the lid. Two knives, one long and one short, lay quietly in the box. A kind of weird black and red, the scabbard is near the position of the knife, engraved with words that do not belong to the Great Xia Kingdom.

Su Lin held the knife with his thumb, and slowly pulled out the long knife. The blade was as cold as water, with intricate and beautiful forging patterns.

The other knife had a straight blade, shaped like a dagger, and Su Lin judged it should be a Kodachi.

These two knives belonged to Su Lin's grandfather. They were taken from Dongying thieves. They are extremely sharp and have been regularly maintained by the old man for many years.

It is also the best weapon the Su family can produce. If there are so-called monsters, this is Su Lin's only reliance.

"Crack—!"

Su Lin had no expression on his face, and slowly and silently drew out the blade, protecting Su Lingyu behind him.

The door hinges of their old house had been in disrepair for a long time, and if they were not careful when opening and closing, they would make a sharp neigh.

The sound just now indicated that someone had come in.
