Killing God

Chapter 186: Cherish

The voice trembled a little, and seemed to be a little frightened. From the side, it was Lao Hou's voice. :3w. Shen Shi and Hou Sheng turned their heads and looked at the same time. They saw that Lao Hou had woke up at some point, and there was still a look of fear on his face, but his eyes were piercing, but he was staring at the monster standing beside Shen Shi Non-stop.

Both Shen Shi and Hou Sheng were stunned. Hou Sheng's reaction was particularly strong. He stepped back subconsciously, as if he, a powerful monster capable of giving birth and tearing bones, felt particularly scared in front of the dying old man. .

Shen Shi was speechless, looking at these two fathers and sons who were almost human and ghosts with different paths, for some reason, they felt a bit of empathy. In this world, his only relative is his father, Shen Tai, but he and his son have been separated for many years. It is still impossible to know whether his father is still alive. Somewhat credible.

He sighed lightly, walked to Lao Hou's side, helped him sit upright, and then whispered: "He is Hou Sheng. At the beginning, in the Gaoling Mountains, he encountered an ancient ghost with strong Taoism. , Was hit by a weird spell, that's why it became this inhuman and ghost."

Laohou's body trembled abruptly, his lips trembled slightly, his eyes fixed on the ferocious but silent monster, the color of fear gradually faded, and he looked at the only half of the monster's face and looked at the vagueness. The still familiar outline, muddy tears slowly welled up.

Shen Shi continued on the side: "I visited Centipede Mountain the day before, and encountered a group of ghosts in the middle. Halfway through the fight, Hou Sheng appeared and stopped those monsters. After acquainting me, he mentioned that there was nothing else in the world. I worry, only you, the old father, is still in Floating Cloud City. I really can't rest assured. It's just his appearance. There are countless monks and masters in Floating Cloud City, so please help him take you out of the city to meet him."

The old Hou made a few hoarse and vague voices. It seemed that he couldn't even utter the words. Hou Sheng looked a little cringed. He seemed afraid that he would scare his father. But after a while, he saw it. The old man slowly stretched out his arms towards him.

A pair of thin, dirty, trembling arms, a fragile but familiar warm embrace.

From small to large, the same as before.

The monster let out a trembling roar, knelt on the ground and crawled forward, hugging Lao Hou's thigh, venting his sadness with a piercing voice like a ghost crying.

Laohou was in tears and could not speak, but there was a sense of relief in his eyes, and he gently groped the monster's head with his skinny palm.

Shen Shi watched this sad scene quietly without speaking. After a while, he turned his head and walked to the side, quietly looking at the heaven, earth and mountains, waiting in silence.

※※※

I don't know how long it took before the choking and crying sound gradually quieted down, and a few whispers came vaguely. After a while, footsteps sounded, but the inhuman and ghostly monster Hou Sheng came to his side.

Shen Shi turned around, took a look at him, and then looked behind him again, and saw that Laohou looked sleepy at the moment, as if he was extremely tired, he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep, just in his sleep. For the first time, a faint smile appeared on his extremely aging face.

Shen Shi hesitated, looked at Hou Sheng's terrifying face, and whispered: "Uncle he..."

Hou Sheng shook his head silently, and said, "He will return me to Centipede Mountain."

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, wondering whether Lao Hou could accept the fact that he was living amongst undead ghosts, but it seemed that Hou Sheng had already decided, and Lao Hou was obviously unwilling to leave his son. As an outsider, he only Can nod.

Hou Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Shen Shi." As he said, he didn't know where to find a wishful bag in his hand and threw it to Shen Shi. At the same time, he said, "This is our advance Say good pay."

Shen Shi then took it, but maybe it was the scene that just watched that touched him, so after he hesitated for a moment, he still looked at Hou Sheng and said: "Wai... Junior Brother, you really don't want to go back to the sect to try. Try, there are many elders in the door, with great magical powers, maybe they will have a way?"

Hou Sheng shook his head slowly, but said in a low voice, "It's useless."

Shen Shi thinks about it and it is true. Ghost Dao has always been weird, but there are ghosts in this world. The monks in the world often gather in groups to attack, and have never heard of a cure. Hou Sheng now looks like he really wants to return to the sect, and he is afraid that he will die on the spot before he can tell him clearly.

Thinking of this, he sighed lightly, and said, "Then what else do you have to say to me?"

Hou Sheng was silent for a moment, his eyes suddenly erratic, and said: "After I woke up, I found myself in the midst of many ghosts and spirits. I was scared to death at the time, but gradually, I found that those low-level ghosts seemed very afraid. I, I actually have a power that can order them."

Shen Shi frowned. No one had said this before, but looking at Hou Sheng’s expression, he was obviously not talking casually. Then, Hou Sheng continued to speak as expected, saying: "I easily controlled everything. The ghosts that went there ended up hiding in the Centipede Mountain, but at the same time, I also faintly felt that there was a strange thread hidden in my heart. I didn’t know what it was, as if... it seemed to be on top of my head. Above, there is also something that can control my life and death."

Shen Shi's expression suddenly changed, staring at Hou Sheng, Hou Sheng nodded, and said: "I think that should be a witch."

"She is not dead. She is still hiding somewhere. Maybe one day, she will come out again."

※※※

Shen Shi's face was not very good-looking, recalling the monstrous and fierce power of the ancient ghost under Zhenhunyuan that day, and he said that he was one of the murderers who framed her, which felt uncomfortable anyway.

Hou Sheng had already walked back to Lao Hou, gently carried the old man on his back, turned and walked towards the forest. When he passed by Shen Shi, Shen Shi suddenly said:

"take care."

The muscles on Hou Sheng's hideous and terrifying face twisted a bit. I don't know if it was a smile or a terrifying grin. He nodded and said, "You too, but I always feel that we will meet again in the future. "

Shen Shi raised his brows, and Hou Sheng looked at him and said, "Since I have fallen to this end, I naturally don't want to come out. My only wish is to take care of my father. If you have anything to find me in the future, go to the depths of Centipede Mountain. ...Unless...unless the sorcerer comes back again, otherwise I think we'd better not see you again."

Shen Shi nodded, agreed, and said, "I think so too."

Hou Sheng glanced at the sleeping father lying on his shoulder, sighed, smiled miserably, and said, "Go, cherish the person in front of you anyway."

As he said, he walked all the way to the gloomy mountain forest. The phantom flickered in the mountain wind. I don't know how many ghosts were hiding in it, and a thick fog drifted over, gradually covering their shadows.

Shen Shi would turn around and walk towards the path. When they came, the two of them walked alone. The sky is high and the earth is wide, but there is always a sense of loneliness. He wandered away, looking a bit blank in his eyes, I wonder if he thought of something. After a while, he whispered quietly in his mouth:

"Treasure..."

When he returned to Floating Cloud City, most of the day had already passed. Shen Shi looked at the sky, but did not go to other places, and went straight back to the Xu family mansion.

When he returned to the Xiyuan room and stepped into the west wing, he saw Ling Chunni sitting alone in front of the bronze mirror, seeming to be staring at something silently. But after a while, it seemed that the sound of his footsteps alarmed the self-pitying woman, Ling Chunni stood up all of a sudden, she looked a little flustered, and when she turned around to look at him, she missed her hands, but she didn't. Carefully brought the bronze mirror down and fell off the table.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the mirror smashed on the ground and broke into dozens of pieces, large and small. Ling Chunni and Shen Shi were both taken aback. Ling Chunni exclaimed "Ah" and squatted down to clean up those pieces. Fragments.

Shen Shi came over, held her, and carefully looked at her somewhat pale face, with some concern, and said, "Are you okay?"

Ling Chunni's lips trembled a few times, and the eyes in his bright eyes were a little weak. He stared at Shen Shi deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He said in a low voice, "I'm fine. , Sorry, I was just..."

Shen Shi stopped her words, smiled, and said, "It just broke a mirror. If there is anything to say, just turn around and let someone clean it up."

Ling Chunni smiled, but said: "How can I be so squeamish, why do you have to ask someone to do this kind of thing." She got up, but took a piece of paper from the other side, and then squatted on the ground. The fragments were picked up one by one, wrapped carefully and put aside.

Shen Shi smiled slightly, thinking that she was from a humble background, but she did not have the kind of arrogance of Miss Everyone. When she came back, she pulled her to sit next to him, and said, "Chunni, how are you doing today?"

Ling Chunni thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, I'll go to the east wing to talk to the green bamboo girl when I'm free. She is a very good person, and I don't dislike my background, but I don't feel lonely anymore."

As she said, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly laughed, and said to Shen Shi: "By the way, you know what, Qing Zhu's knowledge is much better than me, although she said she hasn't been to many places, but there are many famous places She can tell about the historical sites, especially Tianhong City. She also told me about the ten scenes of Tianhong. She is really a good person."

Shen Shi smiled and nodded at first, but then he was taken aback, and said, "Ten Views of Tianhong? Have you talked about Tianhong City with her?"

Ling Chunni seemed to have realized something, and shook his head hurriedly, saying: "Uh, no...I didn't mean it, or the two of us chat casually. I know you have something on the mountain, I just... just want to hear. I have no other meaning..."

After speaking, she seemed a little worried, her face was not good, she looked very afraid of Shen Shi being angry, and Shen Shi was also taken aback by her fierce reaction, startled for a moment, and then fell silent.

Ling Chunni glanced at him secretly and pulled his sleeve timidly.

Shen Shi raised his head, suddenly took a breath, laughed, and said: "I'm fine, you don't need to be like this." After speaking, he paused and smiled.

"By the way, I just thought about it. There should be five or six days before I return to the mountain. Although this time is a bit tight, it is barely enough. Or, let's go to Tianhong City? "

(In the past few days, there was severe pain in the waist and restlessness. The words I barely insisted on writing felt some distance from my expectations. Sorry, I will adjust it as soon as possible. In other words, I am so young that I won’t get sciatic nerve. The pain is wrong!!)
