Killing God - Chapter 209

Chapter 209 Shoulder Wipe
Previously, when Shen Shi learned from Ling Chunni that Gao Lingshan had the appearance of a great tomb of the previous generation, he thought about it and didn’t intend to join in the fun. Treasure vault tombs where this news has spread, It would definitely attract a large number of cultivators who cherished luck, If the treasures mentioned in the news were larger, it would even attract cultivators from other provinces outside of Hai Zhou to explore for treasures. After all, the path of cultivation was arduous and winding. Without great opportunities, most cultivators could only look up to the peak of the Immortal Realm for the rest of their lives. In the end, they would give up halfway and end up gloomily.

Something like ascending to the heavens in a single step, Countless people have yearned for it since ancient times, It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a dream. Even though countless realities in this world had already made it clear that for the vast majority of mortals, walking step by step was the right path and the only path. However, whenever news of such a treasure vault appeared in the Primordial Chaos Realm, it would still attract the attention of countless cultivators.

Regardless of whether it was a rogue cultivator or an ordinary sect disciple, their thoughts were actually the same.

Shen Shi wasn’t completely unmoved by this. However, his temperament was always calm and prudent, He would think about more things. In the next few days, Gaoling Mountain would definitely be filled with cultivators. His cultivation was still not high. If he really wanted to go to Gaoling Mountain, not to mention whether the information about where the treasures were true or not, even if the information was true, how could he obtain the treasures among the tens of thousands of cultivators?

Shen Shi didn’t believe in such a lucky coincidence, so he decided to focus on cultivating at ease and didn’t want to cause any complications.

However, when he accidentally encountered the old marquis at the Southern Heaven Gate, after hearing the origin of the jar, Shen Shi subconsciously thought of the tomb at Gaoling Mountain. Perhaps there was no very definite evidence, but at that moment, Shen Shi’s thoughts were indeed stirred up again.

Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he couldn’t help but dream of having a big pie smash on his head?

When Shen Shi walked out of the South Heaven Gate, he thought to himself with some self-mockery.

Liuyun City occupied an enormous area and was bustling with activity. Many aristocratic families lived here for generations, and the Dongcheng Hou Clan was one of them that had quite a reputation. Shen Shi did not expend much effort to find out where the Hou Clan’s mansion was. Along the way, he walked towards the East City. Along the way, he passed through the main street. There were dense pedestrians. He wore ordinary clothes and looked completely inconspicuous. Other than the Little Hei Pig who had always been following him, no one would look at him twice.

There are no marked intervals between several districts of Liuyun City, It’s just a common name for general location, and the Hou Clan has been operating here for generations. This old house occupies an excellent position in the city, and it occupies a large area. Outside the door is a lively street. When you get close to it, it becomes quiet. It can be said to be a geomantic treasure land that takes quiet in the midst of noise.

Shen Shi walked to the side of the road called Hou Mendao. Looking at the high gate courtyard from afar, he pondered for a moment before continuing to walk along the stream of people as if nothing had happened. No one else could see anything strange about him, but intentionally or unintentionally, his gaze was looking around the Hou Clan’s mansion. At the same time, his footsteps were slowly circling around the mansion.

Pedestrians were like weaving, coming and going along the marquis’s path. Apart from the spacious main road, there were also many large and small alleys beside the road. The large alleys were flat and neat, and there were shops inside. The small ones were dark and deep. They looked dirty, and they didn’t know where to go.

Shen Shi himself wouldn’t care about these inconspicuous alleys. At this moment, his thoughts were almost all on the Hou Clan’s mansion. Since it was related to the Yin Yang Curse, this Demon race Secret Technique was crucial to him. Although his chances were slim, just looking at the miraculous effects of the Heart Cleansing Curse and the Heavenly Underworld Curse was enough for him to try his best to do it no matter what.

When he walked past an intersection, a woman walked across the crowd at about the same time. She walked in the opposite direction. The two of them brushed past each other. Shen Shi did not notice anything unusual. However, after taking a few steps forward, the woman suddenly shook her body. She turned around with some astonishment and glanced at Shen Shi’s back.

This woman was actually Ling Chunni.

At this moment, Ling Chunni had already changed her clothes. But unlike yesterday when she and Hou Yuanwang were together, At this moment, she did not apply any powder and her clothes were also ordinary. Although her face was still pretty, her clothes were loose and conservative, which could be considered to cover up the kind of charm that made men burn in their desire. When she walked silently on this long street, it was not very eye-catching.

Shen Shi hadn’t noticed Shen Shi’s shoulder brush just now. It was also due to the fact that she had almost changed her appearance today. It was very different from yesterday’s appearance. However, Ling Chunni clearly recognized Shen Shi. At this moment, she looked at Shen Shi’s back and quickly saw that Shen Shi seemed to be looking at the Hou Clan mansion intentionally or unintentionally.

After looking at it for a while, Ling Chunni snorted in her heart. She thought to herself, “Aren’t these stinky men all the same? Yesterday, she heard that the Hou Clan might have a secret passage to the tomb. Today, she came over to make plans for the Hou Clan.”

But after thinking about it, Ling Chunni did not have any intention of exposing it. On the contrary, the Hou Clan was even more boring in her eyes. Moreover, Hou Yuanwang’s death was also a big problem. She was eager to be as far away from that noble clan as possible.

As for Shen Shi … she shrugged her shoulders and indifferently turned around. She didn’t know how many people she would encounter in her entire life, so it didn’t matter if he lived or died. It had nothing to do with her.

However, it seemed that when she begged him for mercy yesterday, she had the appearance of being picked by a lord. However, this fellow did not seem to be tempted. This was a rare sight … With such thoughts flashing through her mind, Ling Chunni continued to walk forward silently and slightly. After walking for more than ten feet, she turned into a small alley beside the road.

The alley was narrow and dirty, with high walls on both sides, so that there was not enough light to illuminate the alley, and even in the current day, the alley looked very dim. On the narrow road, sewage and dirt could be seen from time to time, and the air was filled with a strange stench that was disgusting.

Compared to the bright and bustling streets outside, this dirty alley was simply a world apart. It could be seen that nothing would ever come here, and there was no one on either side of it. However, it was in this dark and dirty alley that Ling Chunni looked very familiar with. It was as if she had already walked through this dirty and dark alley countless times.

Darkness gathered behind her, quietly concealing her slender figure. Unknowingly, the noise on the noisy street in the distance gradually disappeared. Ling Chunni walked into the depths of the alley. It seemed to be getting darker and dirtier, but there was a door. There was actually a family living in such a place.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Chunni walked to the broken wooden door and stretched out her fair hand to support it. Her snow-white skin formed a sharp contrast with the black-brown wooden door. Then, with a creak, the wooden door opened.

“Godmother, I’m back.”

Ling Chunni shouted into the room. His voice was gentle. If Shen Shi was standing here now, he might feel the warmth in the woman’s voice and the seductive tenderness.

“Ah.” In the dark room, an old voice sounded, accompanied by a few ear-piercing coughs.

Ling Chunni’s expression changed. She quickly walked into the room and was greeted by a deep darkness. She immediately frowned and walked to the side with familiarity. She took out flint and candles from somewhere and lit the room up with a clack of fire.

The dim yellow candlelight slowly lit up and illuminated the surroundings. This was a very small room. It was only seven or eight feet in radius. There was a bed by the wall inside, and it seemed to occupy half of the room. Other than that, the rest of the room was filled with tattered things. It looked very embarrassed.

On the bed lay an old woman, His hair was white and sparse, and wrinkles appeared on his face. From his face to his thin arms that were exposed to the bedding, his skin was as dry as withered leaves. It was as if he had completely lost all moisture. He was so old that he couldn’t even form a human. In this dim light, he was like a person who was about to die, and even carried a hint of ghostly aura.

Ling Chunni didn’t seem to be afraid at all. She pulled the candle in her hand onto the table and sat down beside the bed. She patted the old woman’s back gently and said softly, “Godmother, didn’t I tell you that this candle isn’t worth anything? There’s nothing to save.”

The old woman’s dry lips wriggled and she smiled. However, the smile made people’s hearts skip a beat when they saw it. She said, “There’s no point in ordering it. The things here are just like that. Could it be that I can see anything else?”

Ling Chunnie forced a smile and pursed her lips slightly. A hint of gloom flashed across her face.

The old woman looked at Ling Chunnie’s delicate and beautiful face like a spring flower. After a moment of silence, she slowly stretched out her hand and grabbed one of Ling Chunnie’s palms. Ling Chunni helped her sit up and leaned against the pillow.

The veins on the old woman’s withered hands were exposed and her skin was dry. When placed together with Ling Chunni’s fair and gentle palm, it was like two completely different hands. When her hand gently stroked Ling Chunni’s palm, it was as if a hard piece of sand paper was flashing past it coldly.

Ling Chunni lowered her head and clenched her teeth, but she didn’t say anything.

After a while, the old woman opened her mouth and whispered, “You’re beautiful again.”

Ling Chunni smiled, still allowing her to hold her white and warm palm without saying a word. However, the old woman could clearly feel that Ling Chunni’s palm had suddenly turned a little cold. She looked at Ling Chunni’s delicate and charming face. Her face was pale, but her voice seemed to be a little sad. She whispered, “Sigh, if I knew it would be like this, I shouldn’t have given you that half of the Dream Buddha Diagram back then.”
