Killing God

On Herring Island, in Xuanyuetang's study. .

"Senior brother, that's how it happened. According to the other juniors who came back on time, there is no sign of any change on Yao Island. Only Junior Brother Shen has not returned for some reason. I'm afraid that something happened. Please help me, senior brother." How about going to Demon Island to have a look?"

A few candles were lit, illuminating the study very brightly. The burly and handsome Wang Gen sat behind the desk with a dignified expression. Behind him stood Zheng Zhe, and on the other side of the desk was Xu Yanzhi. With Zeng Zhibai, the one who spoke just now was Zeng Zhibai. Seeing that his face was ugly and anxious at the moment, after he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Gen expectantly.

Wang Gen was silent for a moment, Fang raised his eyes to look at Zeng Zhibai, and said, "Why didn't the two of you go to the island immediately to search and rescue?"

Zeng Zhibai and Xu Yanzhi looked at each other, they both lowered their heads. After a while, Zeng Zhibai said in a low voice: "After the re-opening of Yaodao Island, you have repeatedly told us not to go to the island without authorization. This is a strict law of the family and should not be violated lightly."

Wang Gen stood up slowly, and a candle not far from him flickered for a while, reflecting his face a little gloomy and uncertain under the dim halo, he only heard him say in a low voice, "Since you know that is Gate rules, why are you begging me again?"

Zeng Zhibai was speechless, Xu Yanzhi who was standing beside him gritted his teeth, but took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother Wang, that Junior Brother Shen is quite talented, he has already cultivated to a high level of Qi Refining Realm, in time , it is very hopeful that I can go to Jinhong Mountain and achieve some Taoism. It would be a pity if I just fell on Yaodao, I beg you, brother..."

Wang Gen slowly shook his head, turned his gaze around, Xu Yanzhi was stared at by him, he couldn't continue speaking, so he had to stop in a daze, unable to hide the look of disappointment on his face.

Wang Gen looked ugly, as if there was a bit of struggle in his eyes, but in the end he said in a deep voice, "The rules of the house are the rules of the house. Once it is set, you must not offend it!"

Xu Yanzhi clenched his fists, and suddenly seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He took a step forward suddenly, with a bit of anger, and said, "Senior Brother Wang, it was also Junior Brother Shen five years ago, and there was another A girl from the Zhong family disappeared, and you searched all over the island desperately, and even said that you want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die, why, why after five years, you have become so indifferent, and you would rather let such a person Junior brother is in a dangerous situation but still stands idly by?"

The voice was sharp and piercing, and even Zeng Zhibai and Zheng Zhe, who were standing aside, were instantly moved. The difference was that Zheng Zhe had an angry face, and shouted: "Nonsense!"

But Zeng Zhibai was taken aback, and quickly pulled Xu Yanzhi back a few steps.

However, Xu Yanzhi seemed to be angry, and he said angrily, "Senior Brother Wang, tell me the truth, do you think you only look down on the children of those aristocratic families, and Junior Brother Shen was born as a commoner?"

The muscles on Wang Gen's face twitched, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Zheng Zhe, who was next to him, was furious, stepped in front of Xu Yanzhi, and shouted, "Senior Sister Xu, if you talk nonsense again, Senior Brother Wang won't care about you." , I will not spare you lightly!"

Xu Yanzhi looked angrily at Wang Gen, then at Zheng Zhe, stomped his feet suddenly, turned around and rushed out of the room, Zeng Zhibai gave a wry smile, saluted the two seniors, and quickly followed out.

In the study room, the atmosphere was a little stiff for a moment. Xu Yanzhi scolded Wang Gen, which was something he hadn't seen in many years. When talking to him, he has a little more respect than other disciples, but it is true that no one has scolded and scolded him face to face for many years.

Zheng Zhe turned around, his brows were furrowed, and he glanced at Wang Gen with a bit of worry, before hesitating to speak.

Wang Gen silently sat back on the chair next to the desk. After a while, he suddenly heard him whisper: "Junior brother, am I wrong for making such a decision?"

Zheng Zhe was silent.

A look of deep fatigue suddenly flashed across Wang Gen's face, he gave a wry smile, and said, "When I took this position, I thought it was a good thing to make connections and show off my ability, but after five years, how come it has changed so much now?" Become like walking on thin ice?"

Zheng Zhe took a step, looked at Wang Gen, and said, "Brother, don't overthink it. The situation is not the same as it was back then. There are undercurrents in the sect, and the waves are treacherous. Especially after the Yaodao incident, the Gan family's lineage You are being suppressed both in the open and in the dark, there has long been dissatisfaction over there, and they dare not provoke others, but we have been staring at you all the time, as long as you make a small mistake, senior brother, I am afraid that a bunch of people will rush over. when……"

Zheng Zhe didn't continue to talk about the latter part, and Wang Gen didn't ask any more questions, but just sighed softly, and said, "There's still the last half year, let's get through it."

Zheng Zhe nodded silently. After a while, he glanced at Wang Gen again and said, "Then... what about that Junior Brother Shen?"

Wang Gen stared at a candle in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly a gust of night wind blew from outside the house, carrying a deep chill, the candle flames fluttered suddenly, and then quietly extinguished in the wind after a while, leaving only a wisp of smoke that drifted away silently.

※※※

The endless darkness seems to be as boundless as the sea, Shen Shi can't see where the future leads, and when he looks back, even the way he came from is also submerged in darkness.At this moment, the only thing leading him forward in the dark is that Niu Xiong who seems to have been reduced to a ghost but somehow still retains some sense of sanity.

Shen Shi looked at the tall figure in front of him, because the surroundings were too dark, even at such a close distance, it was very blurry, and Niu Xiong pulled his hand, and the breath was as cold as ice. Like... a dead man's hand.

What happened to him?

And where is he taking himself?

Shen Shi walked blankly and suspiciously in the dark for an unknown amount of time. It seemed as if Niu Xiong led him up and down the bends, passing through many side roads, but he still didn't meet a single ghost along the way.

Walking like this, Shen Shi suddenly felt that there seemed to be a little more moisture in the surrounding air. It seemed that the two of them had gone deep into the ground, and the air began to be filled with a faint smell of sea water.Just when he was in doubt, Niu Xiong led him into a very narrow corridor, the gap between the hard stone walls on both sides was so small that they could barely pass through alone.

While Shen Shi was wondering, Niu Xiong who had been walking forward suddenly stopped at this moment. Shen Shi was just about to ask, but suddenly he saw a faint light shining somewhere in front of him.

It was a golden light, faint but eye-catching. For some reason, Shen Shi vaguely felt that he seemed a little familiar.Accompanied by that ray of light was the faint sound of water, subtle but clear, and it was the rhythm that Shen Shi was very familiar with over the years.

It was the sound of the sea tide.

"here……"

In the darkness, Niu Xiong's weird and hoarse voice came, speaking softly in a very low tone.

Under the guidance of Niu Xiong, Shen Shi walked forward in this narrow passage for a short distance, and then found a gap two feet wide on the stone wall, through which the golden light came through. Into this tunnel.

Niu Xiong motioned for Shen Shi to come over, and then pointed out. Shen Shi was surprised, but he still leaned to his side, and then cautiously raised his head to look out of the gap.

From the point of view, Shen Shi found that the corridor they were in at the moment seemed to be at a high place, and outside the gap was a huge stone room with a width of tens of feet, and there were dozens of weird and terrifying dark red skulls on the surrounding stone walls The head, inlaid between the cracks in the stone, emits wisps of strange red light.

In the middle of the stone room, who knows who has dug a tunnel leading to the ground, but at this moment, there is light shining from the depths of this tunnel, the golden light is brilliant, and it flows non-stop.The corridor in the middle of the stone room where Shen Shi and Niu Xiong are located, the golden gleam that penetrates through the gap is refracted from this underground tunnel.

And the sound of the waves and tides came faintly from this deep underground cave.

But apart from these, Shen Shi's eyes finally fell on the stone room. Next to this tunnel, there was a strange ghost with a black body and a length of more than ten feet. From a distance, the ghost was filled with black air, which seemed to be somewhat similar to Yin Ling, but his aura is a hundred times stronger than Yin Ling, and even his appearance is covered by the black air, revealing a faintly ominous aura.At this moment, it seems that it is lying on the side of the tunnel, as if sleeping.

After a long distance, Shen Shi also felt the incomparable power of the ghost in the stone room, his heart skipped a beat, he didn't dare to look any more, he quickly retracted his head, lowered his voice, and whispered to the half-human, half-ghost Niu Xiong beside him. Said: "Brother Niu, what is the purpose of you bringing me here to see this ghost?"

Niu Xiong let out a low rubbing sound, and two strange eyes with dark red lights seemed to shoot out two flames of resentment, but he still seemed to be a little scrupulous after all, he pulled Shen Shi back two steps, away from the gap , Then he said in his hoarse and weird voice: "The name of that monster is 'Yin Ghost King', and it was he who turned me into the ghost I am now."

Shen Shi's heart skipped a beat, and just about to ask, a voice suddenly came from the stone room, as if someone had walked in.

With that faint golden light, Shen Shi saw that the expression on Niu Xiong's ferocious face seemed to become more and more distorted suddenly, and then he stood up suddenly, and at the same time pulled Shen Shi back to the crevice of the stone On the other side, looking into the stone room, there seemed to be deep-seated hatred in his mouth, he gritted his teeth and said: "The person who harmed me is not only the ghost king, but also this beast!"

Shen Shi was at a loss, raised his head and looked into the stone room again, only to see a figure walking slowly in the dark corner, his figure looked a little short, and when he got closer, under the golden light and red light, he was also a ghost. The bones are rotten, the clothes are torn, the face is also twisted and hideous, and there are two fangs that are like beasts, stretching out from the mouth, looking like a ghost.

And in the eyes of this ghost, there is also a strange dark red light, which looks almost exactly the same as Niu Xiong.

Shen Shi looked at the ghost that appeared suddenly from a distance, and watched him slowly walk to the ghost king step by step. Although his face was ugly and hideous, the ghost showed a bit of flattery. He knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

"Ghost King, I found a good thing."

With a hoarse voice, he said to the ghost king who seemed to be sleeping with flattery.

At that moment, although the tone of the voice was completely changed and the face was almost completely deformed, Shen Shi suddenly trembled, as if he understood something, he was stunned and almost couldn't control himself, he turned his head all of a sudden, looked at Niu Xiong, even his voice seemed to be A little astringent, slowly said:

"That's... Lin Hu?"
