Killing God

Into the night.

The top of the Great Wall goes straight into the sky. Although it is a hundred meters long, standing on the top of the city and looking down, you can only feel that the houses and pavilions inside and outside the Great Wall are like ants, with moonlight falling and stars shining, like in a fairyland. There is a gale blowing across the sea from afar, almost suspiciously floating in the nine clouds, floating like a fairy, or fearful of being like floating dust, floating out of this vast city wall with the wind, breaking into pieces.

A bright moon rises, bright and bright, looking over the Great Wall, it seems to be more than ten times larger than usual, like a huge wheel of light, within reach.

The moon shines on the silhouette of the person, the person is in the middle of the month.

Suddenly, looking back, I saw under the Great Wall, in the Tianhong City, although darkness fell at night, there were thousands of lights in the eyes, brilliant and bright, and endless, the brilliance swayed endlessly and brilliantly. Prosperity does not lose the day, this magnificent capital, as if never sleeps.

A light sigh of laziness and contentment sounded in Shen Shi's ear, Du Tiejian's voice came faintly, saying:

"The one above is the'Great Wall Embracing the Moon', and below is the'City that never sleeps', which is also one of the ten scenic spots of Tianhong."

Shen Shi nodded, and couldn't help but exclaimed. At this time, he and Du Tiejian came to the Great Wall. It was an eye-opener to appreciate the wonders of the sky on the top of the hundred-zhang high wall.

In the evening, after Du Tiejian went to the remote alley to buy a gourd and bamboo leaf green wine, looking at the sky, the two of them were going to spend the night in Hongcheng on this day. Tomorrow, they can continue to the teleportation circle and pass back to Haizhou Liuyun. The city was over, so Du Tiejian took Shen Shi to the hundred-zhang high city.

However, one thing that Chen Shi did not expect was that on the high wall of the Great Wall, in the middle of the night, there were still many figures. Of course, because the Great Wall was so huge, those few figures naturally scattered. They are far away from each other, and people who look at those far away are often like Du Tiejian, sitting or standing casually, with their backs on the stone wall railings, some looking at the bright moon in the sky, some staring at the lights in the city, and some simply curling up in the corner. Fall asleep deeply.

Perhaps those people also have their own different experiences and moods.

Du Tiejian sat on the ground, leaning back against the rock wall, looking at the huge bright moon above the sky, tossing and catching the gourd, chuckled, and took another big mouthful, then closed his eyes slightly, shook his head for a while, and sighed: "Good wine what……"

Then he glanced at Shen Shi and smiled: "Would you like to take a bite?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a while, and suddenly thought of the scene of drinking with the old white monkey in the past for no reason. He felt a little gloomy, but then nodded and said: "Okay."

The green shadow flashed, and the green wine gourd was thrown over, Shen Shi grabbed it, and took a sip from his mouth. For a moment, a scent of sweet wine seemed to pass from the tip of his tongue, Shi Shiran went straight into the throat, warm In the ocean, there is a hint of coolness, which makes one's heart jump. The taste is so sweet and unspeakable.

Shen Shi walked to Du Tiejian, returned the wine gourd to him, and said with a smile: "This wine really tastes great."

Du Tiejian laughed. It seemed that Shen Shi liked to drink, and he was even more happy. He slapped Shen Shi on the shoulder, and smiled: "That's right, the wine I like is not bad. It’s a pity that this is a good wine, and only Tianhong City has it in the world. After we return to the mountain tomorrow, there will be a period of time when we can’t drink it."

After that, he shook his head lightly, looking rather regretful.

Beside the two of them, Du Tiejian’s black giant sword casually leaned against the railing of the stone wall, and the little black pig quietly walked to the giant sword at no time, looked up and down, and occasionally tried to stick out a piglet. The hoof touched the sword here and there, and it seemed to have a little interest in this black giant sword.

Du Tiejian took another sip of wine, his eyes seemed to be hearty, thoughtful, and suddenly he said, "Junior Brother Shen, are you this year?"

Shen Shi said: "Nineteen."

Du Tiejian nodded, as if he was mentally calculating for a moment, and said: "Well, almost, three years ago, when you... disappeared, it was the last year on Herring Island, right? What was your realm at that time?"

Shen Shi smiled bitterly, then stopped talking, and finally said calmly, "Same as now."

Du Tiejian seemed to be a little surprised. He turned his head and glanced at him. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about those things later, but your realm is really low now. You have to practice hard after you return to the mountain." When he got here, he seemed to think of something, paused, and then faintly said, "Among the younger generations of disciples in the past few years, I heard that there have been a few powerful people connected together. They are very important to the elders. At age, it seems that they are all the newcomers who came to the gate of the mountain the same year as you."

Shen Shi's heart suddenly tightened, and he raised his eyes to look at Du Tiejian, only to find that the senior brother was drinking with his head up, but he didn't mean to continue to say more about it. Despite the expectation in his mind, even Du Tiejian said so, presumably the young geniuses who have been together on Qingyu Island in the past three years have been brave and diligent.

He was a little upset for no reason, and faintly heavy. After a while, he suddenly heard Du Tiejian calling him by his side. Shen Shi woke up from his own random thoughts and agreed, "Ah, what's the matter? , Brother?"

Du Tiejian stared at him for a moment, wondering if it was the illusion of Shen Shi, or the reflection of the dazzling brilliance of the moon in the sky. For a moment, Du Tiejian's eyes were so bright that it seemed to penetrate his heart, but in a blink of an eye the light dissipated. It seems that there has never been a general, and then only listens to Du Tiejian calmly:

"Junior Brother Shen, are you afraid of death?"

Shen Shi was startled, unable to react to this somewhat dumb questioning for a while, looked at Du Tiejian in amazement, Du Tiejian didn't seem to want him to answer, smiled, took a sip of wine, Gu Zi continued, saying:

"Between life and death, there is a great horror, and everything that has spirits is feared. It is not surprising. It is just that we cultivators are indispensable in addition to being talented and rooted in spiritual cultivation. The weak and the weak are indispensable. There is a talent for peerlessness, and there is no way to go too far."

Shen Shi stared at him, was silent for a long time, and then whispered softly: "Senior brother, but say me?"

Du Tiejian looked up at the sky, and said lightly: "You and I are walking together for the past eight days. I have a lot of small talk. Although I can't tell how talented you are, but you are very young, but you are very knowledgeable, especially in various places. I am not ashamed to recognize all kinds of spiritual materials. This kind of talent is really rare. If you can cultivate your mind, your future should be more ambitious in the future."

Shen Shi slowly lowered his head and said nothing. Du Tiejian glanced at him, smiled faintly, and closed his eyes. After a while, there was a faint snoring sound, but he fell asleep.

The little black pig next to him turned his head and glanced at this side. It seemed that he was a little dissatisfied with the guy who was asleep and snorting. He glared at Du Tiejian, but it seemed that he liked this black sword more and more. He didn't want to leave, but he still snuggled beside the giant sword.

Shen Shian sat in deep thought, did not fall asleep for a long time, and finally stood up slowly, walked slowly to the edge of the tall city wall, and leaned on a railing to look into the distance. Only in the distance, in the night, the moonlight was shining on the world, even the vast sea. , All seemed to have become a sea of ​​silver.

Am I afraid of death... Am I... cowardly...

Shen Shi thought back quietly. There is no doubt that Senior Brother Du came all the way after receiving Nangongying's return from Heavenly Sword Palace and then notifying Ling Xiaozong. Before that, he and this mad senior brother with a profound personality There is no interaction, so his impression of himself must be from these few days, and for preparation, perhaps it should be the scene where he saw himself in Broken Moon City.

Was it really weak when I was surrounded by the three of Xuanjianmen and Nangongying at that time...

His palm lightly touched the hard and rough stone bricks, his eyes were calm and clear and bright, quietly thinking and reflecting.

Starting from the age of twelve, he ran away from home, lived with his father for many years, and practiced alone on Herring Island. He believed that he had always been determined and self-improving, even if it was an accident that hit the demon world, but within three years, he Surviving carefully and steadfastly, facing the cruel infighting in the demon world, struggling for life and death, whether it is the old white monkey, stone pig, or even other demon races, he has never said that he has any comments about life and death.

But why does Big Brother say that...

Or, when did I suddenly change...

His eyes gradually dimmed, as if thinking of something, his palms involuntarily grasped gently, maybe... was it the old white monkey and the stone pig?

Could it be that after seeing the death of the two of them, he suddenly became weak and didn't even notice it?

Shen Shi stood quietly, standing on the Great Wall that was a hundred meters high, facing the strong wind blowing from the Inland Sea, kept silent like this.

The moon blooms like water, shining without sleep, and the figure is independent, as if in the middle of the moon.

※※※

The next day.

The morning light fell, the darkness receded, and a new day began.

Du Tiejian yawned, woke up leisurely, stood up stretched, and then saw the side of the stone wall railing in front of him, Shen Shi stood there looking into the distance, motionless.

A few drops of morning dew wet his clothes.

If Du Tiejian glanced at him deeply, he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked back and found that the little black pig didn't know when, actually holding his black giant sword beside him, screaming and falling asleep. It opened and flowed out a trace of crystal saliva, dripping on the black sword sheath.

Du Tiejian was dumbfounded, and he had experienced it with his character. He felt speechless when he saw this scene. At this moment, he heard only the sound of footsteps behind him, and Shen Shi walked over.

Du Tiejian turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "You little piggy is really funny. My big sword is a bit murderous on weekdays. Ordinary monsters don't dare to approach, but it doesn't seem to care at all. ."

Shen Shi smiled and nodded, walked over and kicked the little black pig to wake it up, and then walked forward with the sleepy little piggy, and he was about to return to the mountain gate that day.

It was just when he walked to the edge of the towering and steep stone steps that stretched from the ground to the top of the wall for a thousand layers, Shen Shi suddenly said, "Brother Du, you said the stone steps here are not like the ones that we worshipped in the Lingxiaozong. ?"

Du Tiejian glanced at it and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, it's a bit like it, but the scale and momentum here are much larger than ours."

Shen Shi smiled slightly, knowing that what Du Tiejian was telling was the truth. The stone steps of the Great Wall were steep and towering, and ordinary people could hardly climb them. Those who could go up to the top of the Great Wall were monks who walked along the way.

He walked down one floor, and then said: "When I walked to worship Xianyan, I was actually nervous and afraid on the stone steps."

Du Tiejian glanced at him, a slight smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, but his tone was still flat, and he responded, "Oh?"

Shen Shi calmly said: "Think about it now, I was actually a little afraid of death at that time, but...now I can walk down slowly." As he said, he walked down step by step, Feng Feng Blowing past him, his clothes fluttered, as if threatening, but his body was always calm.

Du Tiejian walked beside him casually, carrying the huge sword, after a while, smiling and said: "That's it."

Shen Shi's footsteps paused slightly, then he turned to Du Tiejian, bowed, and said with a serious expression: "I am inferior in intelligence, or inferior to others, but I have no intention of slack in the heart of Dao. Brothers are talented in heaven and have wise eyes and eyesight. I woke up at a point last night, and the younger brother remembered it in his heart. In the future, I am practising the Taoism, and I beg my brother to continue to teach me and relieve my dullness.

Du Tiejian took a deep look at him, and suddenly laughed, shook his head and sneered, but he didn't see any troubles in his expression.

"I have a good savvy and a good temper, but I am still willing to bow my head. This is much better than me. Haha, let's go and talk about it later!"

Before the words fell, the figure flew up, but he took the Shen Shi directly and fell straight down, floating like the wind and as fast as lightning.

Just a moment later, above the stone steps, a groan of extreme anger suddenly sounded. In the middle of the air, Du Tiejian turned his head in amazement, his old face suddenly reddened, and he said:

"Ah, oh, just care about being chic, forgot that little pig..."
