Killing God

The butcher's footsteps stopped suddenly at the door, and after a while, he was a little surprised, and said outside the house: "Xiao Shi, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Shi really didn't expect that suddenly, the small can was inexplicably smashed in such a ridiculous way in front of his eyes, his mind was confused for a while, and he subconsciously said, "Uh... ...I'm fine, uncle, I accidentally broke a teacup."

"Oh." The butcher breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't seem to have the intention of knocking on the door to come in. He just asked casually outside the house and said, "I'll come over and ask if you're hungry, why don't we go eat something first? "

Shen Shi casually glanced at the remains of the small pots on the ground that had been broken into pieces, and before he had time to take a closer look, he hurried over and opened the door, only to see the butcher standing in the corridor outside the door, and looking at the sky, unexpectedly Know when it has darkened.

The butcher looked at him, smiled, and said, "I'll take you to eat something, come back to rest after eating, sleep well at night, and go to worship Xianyan tomorrow."

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay." He walked out and closed the door behind him.

The butcher led him outside, and said casually, "I'll ask someone to clean up the house for you later, shall I?"

"Well... no need, I can take care of small things myself." Shen Shi let out a sigh of relief and declined.

The butcher didn't take it seriously either, and the two walked out just like that.

The small courtyard stood quietly in the twilight, and the door separated the inside and the outside. At this moment, no one could see clearly what was in the room.

About half an hour later, the footsteps sounded again, but it was Shen Shi and the butcher who turned around. At this time, it was almost dark, and the butcher gave Shen Shi a few words, and then went back to the room by himself.

Shen Shi looked up at the already dark night, and slowly walked back to the door of his room. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy. He didn't open the door immediately, but thought about it carefully.

When the small jar fell from the table and broke, because of the sudden arrival of the butcher, Shen Shi felt as if he had been caught and felt guilty for no reason. In a hurry, he just glanced at the ground and ran out. I don’t have any impression of what was sealed in that small jar now, but I vaguely remember that there seemed to be such a black thing mixed in among the debris on the ground, but what it was and what shape it was, really Did not see clearly.

At that time, I was in a hurry to deal with the butcher, so I didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, it seems that what was sealed in this jar was not some ghost or ghost that I had imagined, it was really scaring myself.

Shen Shi smiled wryly as if mocking himself, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The house was already dark at the moment, but Shen Shi still remembered the location of the things in the house. He closed the door and groped, and soon found the candle flint on the cabinet. After lighting it, the warm and dim candle light lit up Getting up brought some light to the room, and reflected his figure on the wall, flickering and swaying.

Shen Shi returned to the table with the candle, and sure enough, he saw that there were still debris scattered on the ground beside the table, exactly the same as before he left. He squatted down carefully, put the candle on the ground, followed by the candlelight, and slowly moved the Pieces separate.

I don’t know how many years ago this small jar was an antiquity. Its appearance had long been pitted and corroded. However, after it was broken, Shen Shi saw the inside of the fragments of the small jar through the candlelight, and Shen Shi found that the inside of the jar was actually very smooth. Delicate, under the illumination of candlelight, it reflects a layer of faint green color, just like the light of precious gemstones.

Shen Shi let out a soft "Huh", and his spirit was lifted. If the outside of this small pot was as green and smooth as the inside, judging by the meticulous craftsmanship, it is definitely not an ordinary pot. Points may be a good thing that only the rich and powerful can use.

As a result, he opened his eyes even wider, and carefully sorted them out on the ground. The fragments were removed one by one, and soon under the pile of fragments, a small black stick-shaped thing exposed half of its body, reflected in the out of his sight.

Is this the thing sealed in the small jar?

Shen Shi took a closer look, but couldn't see any clues. He just wanted to reach out to get it in front of his eyes. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and picked up a piece of debris next to him, and gently moved the black stick.

The small black stick rolled twice and emerged from the pile of debris. It was about three inches long and pure black in color, but the material was neither gold nor wood. Shen Shi moved the candle closer and took a closer look, only to find that the material was actually It was a bit like a kind of silk cloth that I had never seen before, and the whole black stick looked like a rolled scroll.

"Could it be a scroll..." Shen Shi said to himself. Before that, he still hadn't thought that it would be such a thing. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and picked up the small black scroll. It felt soft and dense at the beginning. Something like a satin.I held it in my hand and flipped through it for a while, only to find that there was no opening on this strange black scroll, and there was no gap in the black circle, and there was nowhere to open it.

What's going on here... There is such a weird thing hidden in the weird little pot, Shen Shi is really a little confused, at this moment, suddenly a subtle golden light shines on the small black scroll. The edge of one end flickered.

Shen Shi's eyes moved over, and saw that the round curly tail was originally normal, but it seemed that because he wanted to observe this thing carefully, he moved that side close to the candle flame, and it was near the flame. Under the scorching heat wave, there seemed to be a layer of black powder on the curly tail, and the golden gleam was revealed because I kept rubbing the black curly and accidentally wiped off some of it just now.

The matter has come to this, he simply wiped the end of the small black roll vigorously a few times, and sure enough, only the fine black powder fell down, and the golden light quickly brightened, and after a while, when the black powder fell off completely, Shen Shi Suddenly, his body froze, his movements seemed to freeze, and he stared blankly at what was revealed under the black powder.

It was the pattern of a sunflower, with seven leaves, with a gorgeous and brilliant golden color, shining in the dark, emitting a bright light.

Seven-leaf golden sunflower!

※※※

At that moment, Shen Shi only felt that his breathing stopped for a moment, and then a great joy rushed into his heart, it was a kind of excitement from the heart, not because of the priceless things in front of him, In fact, until now, Shen Shi still didn't know what the little black scroll was and whether it was worth anything to him.But he was still genuinely happy, so happy that he couldn't help but clenched his fist and swung it vigorously.

At this moment, he just said loudly from the bottom of his heart: "It really is true, it really is a seven-leaf golden sunflower, I really saw it right!"

This can be regarded as a reward for his eyesight, even if no one knows at the moment, but as long as he knows that he is not wrong, Shen Shi is still immersed in a great sense of satisfaction.In this way, after a while, he slowly calmed down, with a smile on his face. At this moment, he even had such a thought in his heart, even if this small black scroll is not a good thing, but It doesn't seem to matter anymore.

However, this small black scroll specially marked with seven-leaf golden sunflower is obviously undoubtedly the thing that was used by the demon emperor's family in the days of the Heavenly Demon King's court in the past. It's hard to guess what it is.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shen Shi re-observed the small black scroll carefully, turning it over and over again. As before, he still didn't find any place that could be opened on the scroll itself. Finally, after pondering for a while, he still focused on the scroll. On the heraldic pattern of the seven-leaf golden sunflower.

He stretched out a finger, gently placed it on the golden sunflower, and rubbed it, the golden light flashed softly from the edge of the finger, but other than that, there was no movement, Shen Shi frowned, I thought to myself that this is not the mechanism to open the scroll, so how should I open it?

He glanced at the sunflower emblem, hesitated for a moment, moved his finger down from the sunflower flower to the seven leaves below, and pressed each one lightly, the first, second, third, The black scroll has always been unresponsive, which made Shen Shi a little frustrated. When he pressed the sixth leaf like this, when Shen Shi had almost completely lost hope and was about to give up, suddenly, the inside of the small black scroll There was a crisp "cracking" sound, and Shen Shi felt a sudden light on his hand, and the surface of the scroll, which seemed to be intact without any gaps, suddenly cracked a thin crack.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, almost jumped up, quickly took the black scroll and picked up the candle, sat down directly at the table, and then slowly opened it along the gap by the light of the candle. This black scroll.

The candle was burning quietly, emitting a warm light. In front of the young Shen Shi's eyes, it illuminated the inside of the slowly opened scroll. The first thing that caught his eyes in front of him were three large vertical characters:

Yin and Yang curse.

※※※

Inside the black scroll, there are rows of small golden characters, neatly and neatly arranged on the black cloth surface, under the dim candlelight, it is unknown how many years have passed since these words were rediscovered, faint and silent Reflected in Shen Shi's eyes, a golden light shone.

In a daze, it was like the ancient and distant past, the golden color with an unruly aura that once dominated the wind and clouds, after being covered in dust for many years, finally shone with a little light again.

Shen Shi watched silently, from the beginning to the end, his expression also gradually calmed down from the initial joy and excitement, and gradually became a little bit puzzled and a little dazed.

The black scroll in front of him, through the golden words on the scroll, he probably knew what it was. In fact, it should be a remnant of a spell called "Yin-Yang Curse".

The name of the Yin-Yang Mantra is clearly written in the first three characters, which is very clear, but the reason why it is called a fragment is that there are some simple explanations in the text, and the Yin-Yang Mantra is divided into "Yin Mantra" and " There are two types of yang spells, of which there are four types of yin spells, and five types of yang spells. As for the black scroll in front of you, there is only one type of spell in the yang spell, called "Pure Heart Curse".

Shen Shizai read this spell of pure heart carefully, and then slowly put down the scroll in his hand. He was silent for a long time, frowning, and after a long while, he whispered to himself in an unconfident tone:

"This seems to be an article...a technique for refreshing the mind?"

(Unknowingly, two days a day is better, and I find that I am slowly adapting to this kind of life...)
