Killing God - Chapter 327
Chapter 327 Have a Deep Affection for Each Other
In the mortal world, fate came and went, and in the blink of an eye, fate gathered and scattered.
The world was like a sea, and the person was like a drop of water, flowing past his shoulders without a trace.
Step by step, he walked through life, walking in his heart.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the past and recalled it bit by bit. It was like a star stone in that dark cave. There was a faint beautiful and elegant starlight that blossomed with a faint light, warming up the once cold life in the past.
His back was still familiar. Even though it had been many years, he could still see the man holding his hand in the dark cave and walking towards the depths of the endless darkness.
It turned out that many years later, what was still remembered in his heart was not darkness, not fear, nor coldness, but the faint warmth in his palms.
In the sea of people, he was walking in front of her, and she followed behind him. In a trance, she returned to the past. Even though the sun was shining, even though the crowd was surging, and even though the sky was bright, in her eyes, he was still the only one.
A hint of tenderness suddenly rose in his heart.
There was a gentle smile on her lips.
After dispelling some of the haze, he smiled and asked for trouble.
So she quickened her pace and walked towards him. Wherever the breeze passed, it was the best scenery in the world, and the warm spring light seemed to arrive.
However, they did not know that along the way, they had already crossed the sea of people, forgotten to embrace them, and finally arrived at the quiet and quiet street.
The old sophora green branch pressed down on the white wall and secretly peeked out a few points. It was like winter and spring, locked in the deep courtyard. Shen Shi looked ahead. He was familiar with the secluded doors of the courtyard, but he still stood there quietly. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he strode forward. The streets were as quiet as ever.
Zhong Qingzhu took a few steps forward, but his heart suddenly stirred, but he stopped at the side. As the sun shone down, she stared blankly at the front of the street. The man walked to the door of the small house and raised his hand to knock on the door.
In an instant, the door opened and laughter came.
There was a gentle, beautiful, and charming woman who leaned against the door with endless joy. Her smile was like a spring flower blooming. She opened her arms and hugged him tightly. She put her face on his chest like a bird leaning on a human. There was a warm and peaceful smile on her face.
The sun suddenly shone like ice and snow, and the coldness froze in his heart.
Zhong Qingzhu slowly raised her hand and covered her mouth. There was no sound on the quiet and cold street. The shrill cry only echoed in her heart in an instant.
Her face was as pale as paper.
Her palms trembled.
Suddenly, she turned around and stood on the wall. She didn’t dare to take another look, but her vision was blurry. There was a cold and moist feeling, and bit by bit, it soaked her cheeks and cheeks.
Inexplicably, she suddenly understood that the tenderness that had arisen from nowhere was deep in her heart.
However, it was already there, and there was no turning back.

She felt a little heartache, gently panting, leaning against the wall, as if she was going to fall in the next moment. A gentle breeze blew by, strands of hair sweeping up. In the loneliness of this world, there seemed to be only one person standing alone.
The past was like a tide, surging to drown her. Never before had she suddenly missed the starlight in the dark cave, but perhaps it was still fake. It was just an ice-cold stone.
It’s not worth anything… It’s just stones.
She slowly straightened her body, clenched her teeth, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, raised her head, and looked at the sky.
The sky was blue, and it was vast and lofty. However, it was unknown if there were people quietly staring at the world above.
Then, Zhong Qingzhu turned around and looked ahead again.
There was no one there.
The white wall door was tightly locked.
An old sophora tree emerged from the wall.
With a pale face, she slowly walked forward. One step at a time, from heavy to fast, from hesitation to decisiveness, the sun fell on her shoulders, the breeze followed her left and right, the dust dodged like being shocked, and silently darkness descended!
In an instant, it was as if she was the only person left to walk along the long street.
There was anger like lightning, flashing bright eyes; There was a gloomy haze that was like dark clouds, heavy and oppressive.
Walking down the street, he arrived at the door.
In front of the tightly shut door.
She stopped and raised her hand to slap the door.
However, a look of confusion suddenly appeared in her eyes. Her finger landed a few inches away from the door and slowly stopped moving.
She stood quietly outside the tightly shut door, silent and staring blankly.
In the small courtyard next to the wall, Little Hei, who was lying under the old locust tree, moved his ears, as if he was looking at the door with a bit of confusion.
Time passed quietly. Zhong Qingzhu’s fair hand finally fell. She lowered her head slightly and her pale lips trembled a few times as if she wanted to say something. However, she still didn’t say those words and only hid them in her heart.
Then she quietly turned around and quietly left.
From beginning to end, she came and went quietly, just like her lonely and careful life when she was a teenager.
④
On the tenth of December, it was clear.
At the end of the year, the intense winter intent grew, and the flavor of the year gradually began to appear in the secular world. However, neither of these items existed on the Immortal Clan’s Golden Rainbow Mountain. Cultivators weren’t mortals. They were wholeheartedly focused on the Dao, fearless of the cold and warm. They didn’t care about the passage of winter and spring. Year after year, they only begged for the Immortal Dao of Longevity to transcend life and death.
A few days after descending the mountain, Shen Shi returned to Golden Rainbow Mountain on this day. After returning to the sect, he made a trip back to the cave first. After resting for a while, he saw that it was still early and went to the Five Elements Hall of the Arts Hall to meet his master.
However, when he walked to the entrance of the Five Elements Hall, he saw a figure wandering on the stone path outside the hall. He paced back and forth, looking around from time to time. It seemed that he was worried, but it was Sun You.
Shen Shi’s lips curled into a smile. He walked over. Not long after, Sun You saw Shen Shi. A trace of joy flashed across his face. He quickly walked over and smiled, “Good boy, you’re back. You’ve made me wait so bitterly.”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “I’m also tired from running around for my life. How can I compare to you, this fellow, sitting on the Golden Mountain and enjoying it endlessly?”
Sun You rolled his eyes and spat at him. Then, he swept his gaze around and saw that there was no one around. However, there was still a cautious expression on his face. He pulled Shen Shi to a secluded corner and whispered, “Did you tell Elder Pu about that?”
Shen Shi glanced at him and said, “Of course not. Didn’t we make an appointment before? Should I wait for your news?”
Sun You nodded his head repeatedly. Then, he leaned closer to Shen Shi’s ear and whispered to him in a low voice. Shen Shi listened carefully. His expression remained calm, but he nodded slightly in the middle. After a while, Sun You finished speaking and took a step back. He looked at Shen Shi and said, “How about it?”
Shen Shi nodded and said, “Enough.” As he spoke, he smiled and suddenly said, “Could it be that Senior Brother Wang Gen really told you this news?”
“No, Senior Brother Wang Gen has a noble disposition and refuses to do anything wrong. Even the Mysterious Moon Spirit Pill that I want to show filial respect to him refuses to accept it. After giving me some pointers about cultivation techniques, I was told to retreat first,” Young Friend Sun said with a faint smile.
Shen Shi said, Looking at Young Friend Sun, Young Friend Sun smiled and continued, “However, the next day, I ran into Senior Brother Zheng Zhe somewhere in the mountain. He and I met the same time, and he remembered our five years of friendship on Bluefish Island. He talked to me happily and told me all the secrets of our sect.”
Shen Shi thought for a moment and smiled, “If I remember correctly, Senior Brother Zheng Zhe should have been Senior Brother Wang Gen’s right hand man during his five years in Qingyu Island, right?”
“Exactly,” laughed Sun You.
Shen Shi nodded his head and said, “That’s good. I know about this. If I find an opportunity, I will mention it in front of Master.” As he said that, he turned around and was just about to walk away when his footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Sun You and said, “But you should know about that, right? Even if I told Master, success or failure is still unknown. I can’t guarantee you that it will be accomplished.”
Young friend Sun let out a long sigh and revealed a self-deprecating smile. He said indifferently, “I know, but there are a few chances of winning for me. It’s already much better than before. Even if it’s a gamble, I still have to go gamble!”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “It’s fine. Don’t worry.”
With that, he patted Sun You on the shoulder. Then, he turned around and walked towards the Five Elements Hall. Sun You watched him enter the hall behind his back and stood there for a moment before stretching lazily. It was as if he was relaxed. A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he turned around to leave.
The spacious but quiet Five Elements Hall looked no different from the scene before Shen Shi descended the mountain. Sometimes, when Shen Shi walked in this hall, he couldn’t help but wonder if this hall had always been so quiet for thousands of years.
Has there ever been a time in the past when this lofty and imposing hall had amazing talented geniuses, or when someone had left behind a legend that was filled with songs and emotions, carved into the history of this hall, and then gradually disappeared silently over a long period of time?
Xu Yanzhi, who was usually here, had never seen her anywhere today. However, as the personal disciple of the head elder of the Hall of Arts, Shen Shi’s ident. I.ty was naturally different, and he was much more familiar with this hall than before. Therefore, he walked all the way through the main hall and entered the back hall. Sure enough, he found Elder Pu Siyipu lying on the reclining chair with his eyes closed and sleeping in the study room that he had visited previously.
“Master, I’m back.” Shen Shi walked over and said respectfully.
The snow-white-haired Old Man Pu opened his eyes to look at him and smiled, “I’ve returned to the stone. How was your harvest this time down the mountain?”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “Originally, I wanted to go to the Centipede Mountain to search for it. However, I encountered some delays in the process. It can be counted as an average harvest, but there is one thing that is not bad.”
As he spoke, he smiled and pulled out something from the Ruyi bag on his waist. There were a total of five wine jars placed on the ground one jar at a time.
Old Man Pu’s eyes lit up. He jumped up and laughed loudly. He slapped Shen Shi on the shoulder and smiled, “Good boy, this old man really saw the right person. Every time that little girl Xu Yanzhi went down the mountain, she either forgot to buy me wine or stingy only bought a jar. How could she be as heroic as you?”
As he spoke, he smiled and casually picked up a wine jar to slap open. Then, he put it beside his mouth and gulped down the boss. Finally, he let out a long sigh, revealing an incomparably satisfied expression on his face. He looked like an old drunkard.
Shen Shi smiled and walked to the side. He pulled a chair and sat down beside Old Man Pu. He smiled and said, “Master, drink slowly. In the future, I will remember to bring you wine every time I go down the mountain.”
Old Man Pu chuckled.
Shen Shi smiled and said casually, “Oh right, Master, when I came over just now, I saw a person outside the Five Elements Hall. It’s Sun You. Do you know him?”
