Killing God

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Four

The human world comes and goes, and in a blink of an eye, the fate gathers and the fate is scattered.

The world is like the sea, and people are like water droplets, flowing past their shoulders without any trace.

The steps taken step by step have passed through life and walked in the heart.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the past, little memories, like a starstone in that dark cave, with faintly beautiful and elegant starlight, blooming with faint light, warming the cold life of the past.

His figure is still familiar, even if it has been many years, but he still looks at the man who walked forward in the dark cave, holding his hand, and groping towards the endless darkness.

It turned out that after many years, what still remembered in his heart was not the darkness, nor the fear nor the coldness, but the faint warmth in the palm of his hand.

In the sea of ​​people, he was walking in front, she followed, and she went back to the past in a trance, even if the sun was shining at the moment, even if the crowd was turbulent, even if the sky was bright, but in her eyes, he was still alone.

A touch of tenderness suddenly came to my heart.

There was a gentle smile on her lips.

Dispelled a bit of haze, laughed and asked for trouble.

So she quickened her pace and walked towards him, where the breeze passed, it was the best scenery in the world, and it was like a warm spring.

But they didn't know that they had already passed the crowds, and they had forgotten to embrace them, and finally arrived at the quiet and secluded street.

The old locust tree with green branches pressed across the white wall and spied out a bit alone, like winter and spring, locked in the courtyard. Shen Shi looked far ahead and was familiar with the secluded gate of the courtyard. He still stood quietly, smiling at the corner of his mouth, and strode away. The street was quiet, as usual.

Zhong Qingzhu walked a few steps tightly, suddenly his heart moved, but he stopped aside. The sun was shining down, and she stared at the front of the street in a daze. The man walked to the door of the small cottage and knocked on the door.

As soon as the door opened, laughter came.

There is a gentle, beautiful and charming woman, leaning on the door with infinite joy, smiling like spring flowers blooming, and she spread her arms, hugs tightly, and puts her face on his chest, like a little bird, she is so warm and at ease Smile.

The sun was like ice and snow, and the cold was frozen in my heart.

Zhong Qingzhu slowly raised her hand and covered her mouth. There was no sound in the quiet and cold street, and that stern cry only reverberated in her heart for an instant.

Her face was as pale as paper.

Her palms trembled.

Suddenly she turned around and stood facing the wall, not daring to take another look, but her eyes were blurred, and she felt cold and moist, bit by bit, soaking the cheeks.

Inexplicably, she suddenly understood that the tenderness that did not know where originated, it turned out to be deep in the bottom of her heart, and the affection was always deep.

But it is already, and I can never look back.

※※※

She felt a little distressed, panting lightly, and stood against the wall, as if she was about to fall down the next moment. The long breeze blew by, swept strands of hair, and in the loneliness of the world, it seemed that there was only one person standing alone.

The past was like a tide, turbulent flooding her, never before, she suddenly missed the stars in the dark cave, but maybe it was still fake after all, it was just a cold stone.

Worthless... only stones.

She slowly stood up straight, gritted her teeth, wiped away the teardrops from the corner of her eyes, raised her head and looked at the sky.

The sky is blue, far and wide, but I don't know what is above the sky, but some people are quietly staring at the world?

Then, Zhong Qingzhu turned around and looked forward again.

No one is there anymore.

The door of the white wall is closed tightly.

An old Huai branch crossed the wall.

She paled and walked forward slowly, step by step, from heavy to quick, from hesitation to decisiveness, the sun fell on her shoulders, the breeze followed her, dust dodges like fright, silence like darkness descending!

In the long street, in an instant, she seemed to be the only figure walking forward alone.

There is anger like lightning, flashing bright eyes; there is haze like dark clouds, deep and depressed.

Walking across the long street, I came to the door.

In front of the closed door.

She stopped, she raised her palm, and patted the door.

It's just that there was a dazed look in her eyes, her fingers dropped an inch away from the door, and she stopped slowly and didn't move.

She just stood quietly outside this closed door, silently, looking at it blankly.

In the small courtyard separated by a wall, Xiao Hei, who was lying under the old locust tree, flicked his ears and glanced at the door, seemingly confused.

Time passed quietly, and Zhong Qingzhu’s white hands finally slowly dropped. She lowered her head slightly, and her white lips quivered slightly as if she wanted to say something. It was just those words, after all, she didn’t say anything, she just hid. In the deep heart.

Then she turned around quietly and went away quietly.

From beginning to end, she came and went silently and quietly, just like her lonely and careful life when she was a teenager.

※※※

It was sunny on the tenth day of December.

Towards the end of the year, the sense of winter became stronger, and the world gradually began to have the flavor of the New Year. However, these two things are absent on the Golden Rainbow Mountain in the fairy home. The monk is not a mortal, he is devoted to the Tao, is not afraid of the cold and warm, does not care about the winter and spring, year after year, only seeks the immortal way of longevity to surpass life and death.

A few days after going down the mountain, Shen Shi returned to Jinhong Mountain on this day. When he returned to the sect, he first went back to the Dongfu. After a short break, he checked that the weather was still early, and then went out to the Five Elements Hall of the opera hall, intending to meet the master.

Only when he walked outside the gate of the Great Hall of the Five Elements, he saw a figure wandering on the stone road outside the hall from a long distance, pacing back and forth, raising his eyes from time to time. It seemed that he was worried, but it was Sun You.

A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Shi’s mouth, and he walked over. It didn’t take long for Sun You to also see Shen Shi. A hint of joy flashed across his face. He walked quickly over and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are back. It made me wait so hard."

Shen Shi smiled and said, "I am also exhausted for my life, which can't be compared to you, who is sitting on Jinshan and can't enjoy it."

Sun You rolled his eyes and sipped at him. Then he glanced around and saw that there was no one on the left or right, but there was still a cautious look on his face. He pulled Shen Shi to a quiet corner and said in a low voice. "Did you tell Elder Pu about that matter?"

Shen Shi glanced at him and said, "Of course not. We didn't make an appointment before. Am I waiting for your news?"

Sun You nodded repeatedly, but then approached Shen Shi's ear, lowered his voice and spoke softly next to his ear. Shen Shi listened attentively, his expression steady, but he nodded slightly in the middle. After a while, Sun You finished speaking, stepped back and looked at Shen Shi and said, "How?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Enough." He smiled as he said, and then suddenly said, "Is this senior brother Wang Gen really telling you this news?"

Sun You smiled slightly, and said, "No, Brother Wang Gen has a noble personality and refuses to do the slightest deviance. Even if I want to honor his Xuanyue Spirit Pill, he still refuses to accept it. He is pointing me to several places to practice. After Fa wondered, he asked me to return first."

Shen Shi gave an "Oh" and looked at Sun You. As expected, Sun You smiled and went on to say: "But the next day I ran into Senior Brother Zheng Zhe somewhere in the mountains. He and I hit it off right away, and missed the past. The five-year friendship on Herring Island is to talk to me very happily, know everything without saying anything, and casually tell me some secrets that have been circulated in private."

Shen Shi thought for a while and smiled: "If I remember correctly, after five years on Qingyu Island, Brother Zheng Zhe should be Brother Wang Gen's right hand?"

Sun You smiled and said, "Exactly."

Shen Shi nodded and said, "That's fine. I know about it. I will make a statement in front of the master if I find a chance." As he turned around, he just wanted to walk, suddenly he paused again and looked back. He glanced at Sun You and said, "But you should know that. Even if I told the master, the success or failure is still unknown. I can't guarantee you that it will be done."

Sun You breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight self-deprecating smile on his face, and said faintly: "I know, but the odds of winning are a lot better for me than before. Even if it's a gamble, I Go gamble too!"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted Sun You's shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the Hall of Five Elements. After Sun You watched him enter the hall from behind, he stood for a while before he stretched out, as if relaxed. Generally, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he turned and left.

The large but deserted and quiet Five Elements Hall looks no different from the scene before Shen Shi goes down the mountain. Sometimes when Shen Shi walks in this hall, he can't help thinking about whether this hall has been for thousands of years. Is it so deserted?

At some point in the past, in this majestic and majestic hall, has there ever been an amazing talent with wonderful stories, or has someone left a song and tearful legend, carved in the history of this hall? , And then gradually disappear silently and quietly in a long time?

Xu Yanzhi, who is often here on weekdays, does not know where to go today, and has never seen her. However, Shen Shi is now a personal disciple of the elder in charge of the Shutang, his identity is naturally different, and he is more familiar with this hall than before. . So he walked all the way, through the front hall and into the back hall, and sure enough, he found Elder Pu Si Yipu who was lying on a recliner with his eyes closed in the study that he had visited before.

"Master, I'm back." Shen Shi walked over and said respectfully.

The snow-white old man Pu opened his eyes and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "I came back to the stone, how did you get off the mountain this time?"

Shen Shi smiled and said: "I originally wanted to go to Centipede Mountain to search for life, but I encountered some delays in the middle, which is considered to be a normal harvest, but there is one thing that is not bad."

Talking and laughing, he drew things out of his waist wishful pouch, one altar and one altar were placed on the ground, a total of five wine jars.

Old man Pu's eyes brightened, he jumped up, laughed, slapped Shen Shi on the shoulder, and smiled: "Good boy, sure enough, the old man didn't see the wrong person. The little girl Xu Yanzhi used to go down the mountain every time, it was not forgotten. Buying wine for the old man is just stingy, just buy a bottle back, how proud of you!"

He smiled, picked up a wine jar and slapped it open, then put it to his mouth and took a sip from the boss. Finally, he gave a long sigh, his face showed a very contented look, just like an old drunkard.

Shen Shi smiled and walked to the side, pulled a chair and sat down next to Old Man Pu, and smiled: "Master, drink slowly. I will bring you wine every time I go down the mountain."

Old Man Pu chuckled.

Shen Shi smiled, and then he said casually, "By the way, Master, when I came just now, I saw a person outside the Hall of Five Elements. It's Sun You, do you know him?"
