Killing God

"It's you..." Shen Shi subconsciously glanced behind the old coachman from the corner of his eyes, but he saw that the surroundings were empty, and there were no other people, let alone the person he had been waiting for.

The skinny old man turned his neck, making a strange soft sound like a joint that had been stiff for many years, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Come with me, Young Master Shen."

Shen Shi shrank his pupils slightly, stared at him for a moment of silence, and said, "Where are you going?" After a pause, he couldn't help asking again, and said, "Where is Uncle?"

"Uncle?" The old coachman frowned, then reacted, gave a strange smile, looked at Shen Shi with a somewhat playful expression, and said, "You mean the butcher? Hehe, it seems that you have a good relationship with him Ah, you'll know when you get there."

Shen Shi was silent, the old coachman stopped talking to him, turned around and walked away, Shen Shi hesitated for a while, and finally walked out of the door slowly, following behind the skinny old man.

This house only has two entrances, and it is not too big. Shen Shi followed the old man and quickly left the inner courtyard to the place where he came in before.The carriage and the skinny horse that had been sitting for ten days before were still parked in the yard at this moment, but the old coachman had unloaded the carriage from the horse's back at some point and parked at the side of the yard.

Hearing the footsteps, the skinny horse turned its head and looked over. Seeing the figure of the old coachman, it showed a bit of intimacy. eating food.

The old coachman chuckled, patted the skinny horse's head gently with his hand, then turned to Shen Shi and said, "Master Shen, go to the room over there and wait, I have something to show you."

Shen Shi followed his gaze and saw that it was a room on the west side of the yard, but it was different from other open and bright houses. The doors and windows of this room were all closed tightly.Shen Shi's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he said, "What do you want to show me?"

The old man didn't say anything more, but just gave him a deep look.

Shen Shi's whole body was suddenly chilled by his gaze, as if a basin of cold water was being poured over his head, he had the illusion of shuddering, and subconsciously took a step back.In his 12 years of life, he has never been stared at with such a kind of eyes. It is cold with indifference and cruelty, as if what he is looking at is not a human being.But what's even more weird is that, apart from being astonished and afraid, Shen Shi clearly and faintly felt that this kind of look was somewhat familiar to him, as if when and where he had seen this kind of look in the past.

After a while, the skinny horse standing next to the old man seemed to have sensed something, and turned to look at Shen Shi. When Shen Shi's eyes fell on the skinny horse's head, his heart skipped a beat again. However, he clearly saw that the eyes of the skinny horse were completely different from ordinary horses, showing a strange blood-red color, which looked as fierce as a ferocious beast.

The weird and gloomy scene in front of him weighed heavily on Shen Shi's heart like a mountain, almost making him feel like he couldn't breathe. He turned around involuntarily, and slowly walked towards the closed room step by step. door to go.

Behind him, the skinny old coachman narrowed his eyes slowly, with a cruel and cold grin on the corner of his mouth. At the same time, his right hand was stretched under the skirt of his waist, and a flash of light suddenly flashed, revealing a half-blade with a strange shape. Like a waning moon, shaped like a sickle, it looks extremely sharp.

The skinny horse standing beside him seemed to get excited suddenly, snorted and jumped a few times in place.

Shen Shi heard a little movement behind him. Although he only took a few short steps, the inexplicable pressure and the almost gushing fear made him break out in cold sweat.For a moment, he sincerely hoped that the door was far away in the sky, and he would never go there, but the yard was only so big, and the road was only so short.

After a while, he was already standing in front of the closed door.

He stopped, and slowly raised his hand to push open the door, but when he stretched out his hand in mid-air, he suddenly froze, because at this moment, standing in front of the door, he was only a few feet away, Suddenly, he smelled a faint strange breath.

He was no stranger to the smell.

In the past few years, in a courtyard in a secluded alley in Xilu City, Yinzhou, he has often been able to touch and smell this kind of breath.

That's the smell of blood!

Faint, bloody smell.

It was at this moment that he suddenly thought of why he felt that the strange eyes of the old man looking at him were somewhat familiar before. It was because he had indeed seen it before. In that small courtyard in the city, when the butcher slaughtered those fat pigs with a knife, he had the same look...

His hand was slowly lowered, and his heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, sinking all the way down.

※※※

At this moment, the atmosphere in this small courtyard seemed to be freezing, icy and suffocating. Only the skinny horse seemed to be getting more and more excited, its eyes were blood red, and it was staring at him intently. Seeing Shen Shi's back, the horse's hooves kept digging on the ground, as if he could not help but rush over at any time, there was no half of his usual honest and obedient appearance, just like those ferocious monsters in the wilderness and deep mountains.

And the face of the old coachman beside it became more and more ferocious, his right hand was slowly pulled out, and the sharp and strange blade was about to be exposed all over his body.

But at this critical moment, a tall and burly figure suddenly appeared behind the old man, as if blocking the light of the sky at once, covering the old coachman with shadows.

A steady and powerful hand grabbed the old coachman's right hand, as firm as a rock.

The old driver's face darkened slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

A force came from that big hand, and slowly pushed the blade back under the old man's skirt. The corner of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, but he seemed to have thought of something, and took a deep breath. After taking a deep breath, he didn't make a move to resist after all.

The tall figure walked slowly in front of him, it was the butcher who had been there for a long time.

The old coachman slowly raised his head and stared at the butcher with a bit of resentment in his eyes, but the butcher looked at him coldly without any fear.

Beside the old coachman, the skinny horse, which obviously sensed the hostility, had already turned its attention away from Shen Shi. At this moment, it gave a low growl, and glared at the butcher with a bit of viciousness.

The butcher suddenly slapped him across the face.

The big hand caused a sharp howl in mid-air, like lightning, and before the skinny horse could react, it had already hit the horse's head hard, and only heard a "pa", and the skinny horse's entire body was actually beaten. It took off into the air and flew straight out with a wailing cry. It flew across half of the yard, slammed into a white wall with a "bang", and then fell down again.

"Hey, uh, coax..." Several weird and indistinct wailing sounds came from the thin horse's mouth on the ground in the corner, and the old coachman's face changed drastically, and he took a step forward.

The butcher looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

The old coachman stared at him for a long time, then sneered suddenly, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are cruel."

After all, he turned around like this, walked to the corner of the wall, and went to take care of the skinny horse.

The atmosphere in the yard gradually relaxed because of the old coachman's turning and leaving. When the butcher turned around, he saw Shen Shi, who was also turning around, and the pale face of the young man.

The butcher walked over slowly and stood in front of Shen Shi.

Shen Shi opened his mouth, but found that his throat was very dry. After a while, he only called out in a low voice: "Uncle..."

The butcher nodded, stared at the young man in front of him, and after a moment of silence, said: "That matter..."

Shen Shi suddenly raised his head, as if his heart had been lifted up all of a sudden, he stared at the butcher without blinking.

The butcher looked at Shen Shi's expectant eyes, paused for a moment, nodded, and said softly:

"That thing, it's done."

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his body went limp, he staggered and almost fell, but fortunately the butcher had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed him.At the tentacles, the butcher couldn't help frowning, and found that there was sweat on Shen Shi's palms, and at the same time, there was ice-cold between his fingers.

But even so, after hearing the news, Shen Shi seemed to have finally let go of a heavy burden in his heart, and his whole body was completely relaxed in a state of collapse. After taking a long breath, the long-lost A smile finally appeared on his face.

Perhaps affected by his smile, the butcher's solemn face brightened a little, he nodded, and said, "Okay, everything is over, let's go now."

Shen Shi nodded heavily.

※※※

When the butcher led Shen Shi out of the gate of this house, the difference was that the old coachman, his carriage and skinny horse did not follow him.And the moment Shen Shi stepped out of the gate, he looked back subconsciously, and wherever he looked, he was looking at the room with closed doors and windows from afar.

In the sunny day, that room seemed to reject all the light indifferently, hiding the darkness in it and standing alone.

The faint smell of blood was barely audible here, but to Shen Shi, the breath of not long ago seemed to have been stained on him, and it lingered for a long time, as if he could still smell the blood at the end of his nose.

If the butcher doesn't come back in time...

If, he really pushed open that door...

What is waiting for him?

Shen Shi took a deep breath, shook his head violently, and shook off all the thoughts in his mind, then turned around and followed the butcher, strode away, and left the house.

Walking back to the street again, the voices of people gradually increased, giving Shen Shi the feeling that he had returned to the world, everything seemed to be different from before, everything seemed so beautiful.

"Uncle, where are we going now?" he asked the butcher.

The butcher thought for a while, and said: "We will go to Haizhou in the south, to the coast of the sea, and according to the previous agreement, we will send you to Jinhong Mountain to worship Lingxiaozong."

Jinhong Mountain, Soaring Heaven Sect!

Shen Shi clenched his fists, and the hourglass felt solid and steady in his palm. He raised his head, smiled, and said:

"Okay!"

This day is March [-]th, which is a beautiful spring season.

In Tonghe City, Lanzhou, young Shen Shi is about to start his journey.

The road ahead is vast and boundless, but at this moment, the scenery at every step seems to be strangely beautiful and beautiful.

What the future holds, who knows?
