Killing God - Chapter 214
Chapter 214 Azure Stalk
The originally tense atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Prime Minister. Unknowingly, it eased up a bit. Taking advantage of everyone’s attention being attracted to the Xiangshi, the attendant beside the Xu Clan Young Master pulled him back and tried to persuade him in a low voice. The Xu Clan Young Master looked a little reluctant, his brows furrowed, and he was still a little angry, but his aggressive aura was still a little weaker.
Shen Shi naturally had no intention of attacking these people. There were no benefits left unsaid. However, the troubles he had imagined were a lot. He didn’t say anything at this moment. He brought the Little Hei Pig to the side. The girl in the middle even turned her head to look at him, as if she was still somewhat angry.
That Xiangshi demeanor that had just appeared was indeed extraordinary. Although he did not know the depth of his cultivation, everyone did not dare to underestimate the elegant demeanor of the Dao Bone Immortal Wind that he spoke and laughed freely. The few cultivators of Mountain Bear Hall did not seem to know the origin of this Xiangshi either. At this moment, their faces were filled with surprise and uncertainty as they frowned as they looked at him.
The Prime Minister walked all the way to him and circled around. He discovered that although everyone was looking at him, none of them wanted to speak out and look at him. It seemed that they were a little disappointed. However, a moment later, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the front. He said,
“Sir, can you help me take a look?”
The Prime Minister raised his head and saw a young man standing by the roadside with a shiny Little Hei pig at his feet. Although he didn’t seem to be in harmony, the Prime Minister didn’t seem to care at all. Instead, he immediately became happy. He laughed and strode over to Shen Shi, saying,
“Young Master has a good eye. I guarantee that you won’t regret it. May I ask what Young Master wants to see?”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “Let’s talk while we walk.”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked forward. The Prime Minister glanced at his back. The corner of his eyes swept past the people standing around him intentionally or unintentionally. A playful smile flashed across his eyes, but he did not say anything. He laughed and followed him.
Shen Shi quietly left. The Xu Clan Young Master behind him frowned. In the end, he didn’t say anything, The Mountain Bear Hall cultivators also stopped. Although a few of them also looked at Shen Shi, it was clear that they did not care about that unknown young man. They did not show any intention of stopping him. Instead, people kept secretly looking at the Xu Clan’s Young Master and the young girl, their expressions changing slightly.

Because he had just entered the Gao Ling Mountain, the mountain path was fairly flat. For mortals, climbing up the mountain might be tiring, but for Shen Shi, who had already cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm, such a gentle mountain path was almost as flat as walking on flat ground.
After walking for a while, the mountain path winded. After a few corners, the rocks and trees blocked the figures behind them. The surroundings became quiet. Only Shen Shi and the middle-aged Xiangshi were left on the mountain path.
Shen Shi turned around and looked at the Prime Minister. He had followed him all the way here without any urgency. He looked at the surrounding mountains and forests with a leisurely expression, like a tourist wandering here.
Seemingly sensing Shen Shi’s probing gaze, the Prime Minister also looked at him and smiled faintly, “Young master, have you thought of anything you want to ask me?”
Of course, Shen Shi didn’t really want to look for this kind of Jianghu Xiangshi. Cultivators attempted to cultivate heaven-defying, and the deeper they went, the more they had to pay attention to a strong and tenacious heart. They weren’t moved by external objects. Therefore, few people had ever believed in such illusory things as the omen of Xiangshu.
However, since Shen Shi had borrowed the help of this Xiangshi to escape, it was not good for him to immediately turn around and say that he did not want to look at her. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Sir, may I ask which aspect of Xiangshi’s art he has the most attainments in?”
The xiangshi waved his sleeves and smiled warmly. He stroked his beard and said, “This xiangshu is an ancestral precious technique. Everything is fine and everything is clear. However, Young Master, if you have any doubts, just come and ask.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. His trust in this boastful Xiangshi was getting thinner and thinner. He thought to himself that this Xiangshi actually dared to say such big words. He was a swindler. He immediately laughed and said, “Sir, it’s really hard for me to believe that you boast so much.”
The Prime Minister smiled slightly and closed his eyes slightly. He seemed to have taken a closer look at Shen Shi’s face. After pondering for a moment, he pinched his fingers and calculated a few more times. Then, he shi Ran said,
“I see Young Master’s face is upright. His luck is not bad. However, his fate is different. He is disturbed by Lonely Fiend Qi. May I ask if Young Master’s parents were well when he was young?”
Shen Shi’s body trembled and he instantly took a step forward. His eyes lit up as he stared at the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister smiled calmly, as if he didn’t care at all.
After a while, Shen Shi’s expression gradually calmed down. However, his gaze towards this Prime Minister was somewhat different from before. After a moment of silence, he said, “Sir, I have indeed lost my mother since I was young, and have been separated from my father for many years.”
The Prime Minister nodded slightly, as if he knew everything well in his heart. Shen Shi glanced at him and suddenly thought, “Since Sir has such a great talent, can you help me calculate a divination and see where my father is now?”
The xiangshi chuckled and said indifferently, “What’s so difficult about this?”
Shen Shi was overjoyed. For many years, he had cut off news of his father, Shen Tai. This had always been a lump in his heart. After all, that was the only relative he had in this world. However, Shen Tai had disappeared over the years, and it was truly impossible to find him. Today, he actually heard the Prime Minister say that there was such a method. Although he still had some doubts about the art in his heart, he really couldn’t care less about it. If he insisted on saying it, even if the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor, there was always a better hope than despair.
Shen Shi hurriedly bowed, his expression serious and sincere, and said, “Sir, please help me calculate this divination.”
The Prime Minister laughed and waved his hand, “Small matter, small matter, but …” He smiled at Shen Shi and said, “Young Master, do you really want me to settle this?”
Shen Shi was stunned. A moment later, he came back to his senses. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. After a moment of silence, he said, “But I wonder what Mister’s hexagram is?”
The Prime Minister stroked his beard and smiled, “Five spirit crystals is enough.”
Shen Shi frowned and said, “So expensive …”
The xiangshi was not angry. He only smiled and said, “It’s just a merchandise seller.”
Shen Shi took a deep look at him. This Dao Bone Immortal Wind Xiangshi’s clothes were exquisite and elegant, In terms of bearing alone, the dragon and phoenix amongst humans were extraordinary. Apart from not possessing the incomparably powerful might of an Origin Core Realm Great Daoist, they were actually comparable to Daoist Huaiyuan, the head of the Lingxiao Sect, whom he had first visited when he returned to Golden Rainbow Mountain. They were the two most outstanding figures he had ever seen in his life.
Perhaps such a character was indeed a strange person in the game world?
This thought flashed through Shen Shi’s mind, but he immediately felt that it was not so reliable. However, when he thought about how the Prime Minister had casually mentioned his parents, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of hope in his heart.
When his father Shen Tai’s smiling face flashed past his eyes many years ago, Shen Shi finally missed his relatives. He gritted his teeth and took out five spirit crystals from his Ruyi bag. He handed them to the Xiangshi and said, “Please help me calculate a divination.”
The xiangshi laughed and reached out to take the spirit crystal. He only smiled and said, “It’s a small matter, a small matter.”

Under Shen Shi’s expectant gaze, the extraordinary looking Xiangshi casually inserted the green rod in his hand onto the ground beside him. Then, in front of Shen Shi, he placed both of his hands on his chest and began to bend his fingers one by one, like playing a zither or plucking strings. He was muttering something in his mouth, but he didn’t know what he was planning.
Shen Shi looked at it for a while. His brows furrowed slightly. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. At his feet, Pig Little Hei was originally sitting on the ground boredom while the two of them were talking, but for some reason, he stood up and suddenly felt something. To be exact, after the Prime Minister inserted the emerald green rod in his hand into the dirt, Pig Little Hei suddenly seemed to be alarmed and turned around to look.
Little Hei completely ignored the Prime Minister who was carefully calculating or pretending to be a ghost. A pair of tiny pig eyes, for some reason, only blocked the emerald green green stalk. Then, the Little Hei pig slowly walked towards the green stalk step by step.
It didn’t walk very fast, and its footsteps even carried some hesitation. It seemed to have some doubts or astonishment in its eyes. From time to time, it let out a low groan, as if it was muttering something. At the same time, it kept sniffing and sniffing, as if it had discovered something very strange.
The green pole was quietly stuck in the soil, motionless. Regardless of whether it was Xiangshi or Shen Shi, neither of them noticed this somewhat strange Little Hei pig at this moment.
Not long after, The little black pig moved to the side of the green pole. The green pole was several feet long. The upper half was tied with the cloth that the immortal had pointed out. The lower half was a smooth and moist body without any ornaments. At first glance, it looked like some kind of wild green bamboo by the roadside. However, when one looked carefully, it did not seem to be very similar because there were not all the usual bamboo joints on the green pole.
Pig Little Hei’s eyes were wide open as he stared at the green pole without blinking. Then, his nose sniffed around the green pole for a few times. A strange expression quickly flashed across his eyes. That appearance … seemed to be somewhat intoxicated.
Starting from the bottom of the green stalk that bordered the soil, the Little Hei pig sniffed this place, and then slowly began to move upwards. It seemed that the green stalk was emitting an indescribable aura, causing it to be completely unable to control itself and indulge in it. It sniffed bit by bit, and its eyes grew brighter and brighter. In an instant, its eyes were as swift as lightning and flint, and strange changes had taken place in its eyes.
His left eye was dark and deep, like a gray mist that would never dissipate; However, his right eye was like a wheel of light, flickering with cyan, yellow, and purple rays of light.
Afterwards, the little pig stopped and opened its mouth slightly. With a bit of caution and hope, it gently stuck out its tongue and licked the green pole.

Qing Gan remained motionless, not even moving the cloth on which the immortal was pointing the way. However, the xiangshi, who was bending his fingers to calculate, suddenly frowned as if he had sensed something. His gaze tilted slightly and he glanced towards Qing Gan.
