Killing God

Shen Shi was silent in the darkness. After a while, he said, "I don't know." But after a pause, he still whispered, "But it's too early to say this, always try to see if you can Find a way out."

Zhong Qingzhu gave a soft "um".

Can't see her face clearly in the dark, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is it tired? Or sit down and rest, then go."

Zhong Qingzhu also seemed to be really tired. He didn't insist on hearing what he said. The two of them were in this darkness, groping for a higher place on the edge of the cave to sit down. As for the feet still not in the water, they were Can't close it.

Shen Shi leaned his back against the stone wall, and suddenly felt that after a moment of relaxation, the pain that was originally present in all parts of his body suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help but groan. Zhong Qingzhu, who was sitting next to him, seemed taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Shi gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing serious, but I feel pain in many places on his body."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a while, but when he spoke again, there was a little worry and apology in his voice, and his voice was soft, saying: "Sorry, I, I have always been thinking about myself, but I never thought that you were just like me. The one who rushed down must have been injured too. I really...You are fine. Is there any serious injury?"

The wind moved softly, but a soft little hand gently stretched out, and touched his shoulder with a little inexplicable tremor. It seemed that he wanted to continue groping, but he didn't dare to go any further, just froze there.

Shen Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, I've seen it myself, it's all skin injuries, it's not a problem."

Zhong Qingzhu was obviously relieved and said: "That's all right."

Shen Shi nodded in the darkness, did not say anything, Zhong Qingzhu did not speak any more, the two people just sat in the darkness, resting silently.

After a while, Chen Shi suddenly realized that Zhong Qingzhu, who was sitting next to him, seemed to tremble slightly. At the same time, in the silence in the darkness, there seemed to be some extremely suppressed faint choking sounds. The girl beside him seemed to be He was sobbing quietly, and he seemed to be desperately suppressing himself for fear of being discovered by him.

"What's the matter?" Shen Shi hesitated for a while, and finally asked.

When Zhong Qingzhu was asked this way, he seemed to know that he couldn't hide his crying, his choking sound gradually became louder, but he was still trying his best to control himself, but the voice was trembling, and even the voice of his words was a little blurred:

"I, I think my mother kissed me."

Shen Shi sighed and didn't say much. In fact, when he was anxious and uneasy in the dark just now, he was a teenager, why didn't he think of his pudgy father?

Hearing Zhong Qingzhu's sobbing and sobbing beside him, with a bit of helplessness and grievance, Shen Shi after a while, still thinking about talking to her, how much can she relax her mood, and said: "Your mother Isn't she a very good person, see you think of her that way?"

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to wipe her eyes in the dark, and whispered: "Yes, my mother is kind to me. She remembers me for everything since she was a child, never scolds me or beats me, treats me as a beloved baby. ."

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said: "No wonder you miss her so much."

Zhong Qingzhu said a few words, it seemed that his mood had calmed down, he sighed slightly in the dark, and said quietly: "Where is your mother, where is she now?"

Shen Shi paused and said, "She died when I was first born."

Zhong Qingzhu's voice suddenly became quiet, and after a while, he was a little careful, and said, "I'm sorry..."

Shen Shi waved his hand in the darkness and said with a smile: "Okay, what's wrong with this? You didn't know before. Also, why do you always say sorry to others? Always owe others a lot of money?"

Zhong Qingzhu couldn't help being dumb. After a while, he said, "Really?"

Shen Shi said: "Yes."

Zhong Qingzhu thought carefully, and said: "It seems to be so..."

Shen Shi laughed and said, "No, so I can't control when you talk to others, but you don't have to be so careful when you talk to me. It sounds weird."

Zhong Qingzhu said: "Oh."

After these few conversations, the two of them felt much calmer. The original feeling of strangeness that still existed, but now they are a little closer. Sitting in the dark, the two chatted with each other. Shen Shi knew from Zhong Qingzhu that she was indeed a poorly-bred offspring from the Zhong family. The family was also poor and poor, except for Zhong Qingzhu. In addition, it was useless. In his early years, he was full of five poisons. It would be horrible to toss about a family. He beat and scolded Zhong Qingzhu and his daughter all day long. Also, because Zhong Qingzhu was a girl and could not be passed down from generation to generation. Disgusting thoughts.

As for whether it was God’s eye-opening, the old man fell into the water somehow. Since then, the mother and daughter have depended on each other for their lives, and their livelihoods are also depressed. The mother of Zhong Qingzhu has no choice but to take refuge in the Zhong family. , Ben didn't hold much hope, but I was lucky enough to meet the Zhong family's 80th birthday, and the Zhong family didn't want to be unhappy on the day of the big happy day, so they actually took them in.

Since then, the mother and daughter have finally lived a stable life. Although their status in Zhong’s family is still low, Zhong Qing Zhu’s wife also does some laundry and cooking servants on weekdays, but she has food, clothing, and housing. The mother and daughter are happy enough. Even if some people in Zhong Zhong’s family see them as unpleasant, they often make things difficult, or make a few cold words and ridicule, Zhong Qingzhu still endures it silently. Become a cautious temper like now.

As for her being able to come to Ling Xiaozong now, she has got another chance. The Zhong family is a famous vassal family under the Lingxiao sect. Although the family has been short of talents over the past few decades and its momentum has not been as good as before, but relying on the previous contacts in the sect, there are many experts in the sect, so it is still barely among Among the four major vassal families, it is just that in terms of momentum and strength, they are far inferior to the Sun family, Xu family, and even the relatively weaker Hou family.

However, familiarity is also good. There are also a lot of high-ranking Ling Xiaozong who came to the Zhong family. Once there was a senior elder who came over. The intention was to see if there are outstanding disciples in the Zhong family’s generation. I didn't see too many talents, which made the Zhong family very disappointed. Who knew that when he left, the elder of the Ling Xiaozong saw Zhong Qingzhu who just brought tea and water from the side...

When Shen Shi heard this from the side, he couldn't help baring his teeth, thinking that this was not right. How could this be a person with bad luck? This from the beginning to the end clearly looks like a lucky star!

Sun You guy is really unreliable!

Shen Shi secretly concluded to his neighbor and friend in his heart.

※※※

During the conversation, Shen Shi also casually talked about some of his past experiences. When he heard that Shen Shi was the same as himself, almost growing up with his father, Zhong Qingzhu seemed to have some sympathy for him. I don’t know if he felt the same. reason.

In short, after speaking, the relationship between the two of them is much closer. After talking like this for a while, Shen Shi consciously loses a lot of tiredness on his body, and said to Zhong Qingzhu: "Shall we rest, or let's go Go ahead?"

Zhong Qingzhu agreed with no objection.

The two began to fumble in this dark cave again. This time they crawled forward longer, because the surrounding was too dark. They had to fumble and move forward. It was okay for Zhong Qingzhu to follow behind, Shen The stone walks ahead, and there is always the illusion of hitting a hard rock wall in the dark, so the speed can't get up, so you must keep groping in the dark.

Walking like this, I don’t know how long they have been walking. The two of them panted again, and there was a sense of exhaustion on their bodies. At this time, they already had a bit of despair in their hearts. This path of invisible light. There seems to be no hope and vitality.

Is it really going to die in this dark cave?

Frustration and discouragement, like a poisonous insect, gnawing Shen Shi's heart quietly, making his heart a little irritable again, only vaguely heard the movement of the girl behind him, but reminded him that he is not alone now, maybe it is The teenager's inexplicable self-esteem needs to retain some dignity in front of the girl, so he still forcibly suppressed the anxiety and irritability in his heart, and continued to crawl forward.

It's just that how long this can last, even Shen Shi himself can't tell.

At this moment, a faint light flickered suddenly in the dark depths ahead.

Shen Shi's body stiffened for an instant, and suddenly stopped. Behind him, Zhong Qingzhu didn't notice anything. He walked forward, caught off guard and bumped into Shen Shi's body. He exclaimed, and the two fell into the water at the same time.

"Sorry..." Zhong Qingzhu said as soon as he said.

Shen Shi didn't have the time to pay attention to her words. He grabbed her soft palm, with a little excitement, pointed forward, and said, "Look, look over there."

Zhong Qingzhu let out an "Ah" and looked forward with a bit of incomprehension, only to see a faint light gleaming calmly in that corner in the depths of darkness, amidst the silence.

"Ah!" Zhong Qingzhu exclaimed again, but this time his voice was full of surprises, and Shen Shi was also extremely excited, and said: "We will pass."

Zhong Qingzhu nodded heavily and said: "Yeah."

Following the dark cave tunnel, the two accelerated their speed and crawled towards the light. As they got closer and closer to the light, the light seemed to light up, even with them, they could gradually see the scenery around them in a blur. Sure enough, it was the kind of underground cave that I imagined. The rock walls were dark black, and there was water everywhere and it was very humid.

The light was getting brighter and brighter. At this time, they had clearly seen a corner ahead, and the light was shining from behind that corner stone wall.

When they finally reached the corner and turned around, the gentle brilliance finally fell on the two of them. In front of them was a tunnel that was wider and taller than before, enough to accommodate one person walking upright.

And in the rock wall around the top of this cave, among the dark rocks, there is a little bit of brilliance like stars, embedded on the rock wall, emitting a gentle silver light, bit by bit, twinkling, twinkling. A dark cave reflects like a dream, like a fairyland.

"It's so beautiful..." Zhong Qingzhu looked at the scene in front of her. The star-like brilliance was reflected in her bright eyes, which looked so beautiful and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is'fluorescent stone'," Shen Shi glanced at the beautiful light like stars, and said lightly, "It can emit low light spontaneously, and is often accompanied by hard rocks. It is occasionally used for lighting, but it is not very practical. In addition, it cannot be used for alchemy, it is not very useful, and it is not considered as a spiritual material."

"This stone is worthless." Finally, he added another sentence, speaking with certainty.
