Killing God

The room soon became quiet, the father and son were relatively speechless, Shen Tai looked better, and Shen Shi, who was still a boy, was more mature and calm than ordinary people of the same age, but faced with the present situation, it might be life and death. At the moment, at the age of twelve, he was still a little uncontrollably excited.

Seeing his son's slightly trembling lips and worried eyes with tears flashing faintly, Shen Tai felt that there were thousands of words in his heart, and when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he opened and closed his mouth, and finally , still sighed softly, pulled the only flesh and blood of his to his side, and hugged him tightly.

Thinking that after today, maybe it will be forever, and the memories of the years of being dependent on his father from childhood to adulthood floated up in his mind one by one at this moment, Shen Shi gritted his teeth, trying not to let himself cry , but under the emotional agitation, the whole body began to tremble slightly.Sensing the excitement of his son in his arms, Shen Tai silently patted his back lightly, then touched his head with his hands, and said softly:

"Little Stone, you are a boy, you can never cry."

Shen Shi gritted his teeth, stared at his father without blinking, and looked a little pale.

Shen Tai was silent for a moment, seeming to clear up his mood, then his face became serious, looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "Shitou, I have never hidden the cause of the matter from you, you should know why the situation is like this today Yes. Now that the deal is done and there is no chance of turning back, the two of us are about to separate, whether we will meet again in the future... It is hard to say, I have something to say to you here, you must keep it in your heart."

Shen Shi lowered his head slightly, stood beside his father, and said softly: "Yes."

Shen Tai took a deep breath, and said: "If the matter fails to be revealed, naturally nothing will be mentioned, but if the matter is successful, the gods will fulfill their promises, then the father will be arranged to change his name and surname, and go to a remote small state to become a god Will work hard; and as the most important reward for our hard work, the Fairy Association will arrange for you to get a place to worship one of the four famous sects of cultivation in the world, Ling Xiaozong."

Shen Shi quietly clenched his fists and nodded.

Shen Taidao: "Lingxiao Sect is famous and famous, and it is one of the most prestigious 'four righteousness'. I don't need to elaborate on it to you. As a father, your talent is low, and you don't have much experience on the way of cultivation to give you advice. Now that things have happened, all I can tell you is what I have realized in my heart since I have lived half my life."

Shen Shi raised his head and looked at his father, only to see Shen Tai's solemn face, with a bit of solemnity, and said: "First, no matter what achievements you have or what opportunities you have, don't be arrogant, just be careful. Remember, there are countless talents in this world, and there are even more elites gathered on the road of cultivating immortals, there will always be someone who is smarter and stronger than you."

The corner of Shen Shi's mouth twitched slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, my child has recorded it."

Shen Tai raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the door that was still open ahead. Gu Lingyun and the butcher had already left here, and they were nowhere to be seen in the courtyard. They must have gone to the back hall, leaving some space for This pair of father and son who are about to part.

Looking at the empty doorway, Shen Tai said indifferently: "You have seen Gu Lingyun just now, what do you think of her?"

Shen Shi gritted his teeth, and said in a hateful voice: "She is a vicious and wicked woman."

Shen Tai smiled, and suddenly said: "You underestimate her too much."

Shen Shi frowned, looked at his father with some puzzlement, Shen Tai was silent for a moment, and said: "Five years ago, in this Xilu City, the branch of the Immortal Club was crushed by me, and the business plummeted. But she came After arriving here, she tried her best to turn the tide without making a sound. Although she couldn't win the Tianyilou under my rule, she still tried her best to stabilize the situation. Now the situation is taking a turn for the worse for us father and son, but she is already doing more than one stroke. Well, it must be the biggest winner."

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then said, "How should I say it?"

Shen Tai sneered, and said: "First, I built the first building to rise, and I know exactly what kind of material those people under me are. After I leave, the first building will definitely be defeated by the Immortal Society; second , I had a secret discussion with her that day, in order to avoid being chased and killed by Xuanyinmen, I was forced to promise that after the matter was completed, I would work hard for the Immortal Society. A general came to help; thirdly, the old monster Li we plotted against this time is a great monk in the Yuandan realm, a master of Daoism, who dares to be an enemy of this kind of person, and can drive the gods to meet him. Those who work for her in a local branch will definitely not be ordinary people, they must be peerless experts with great background. Once the matter is completed, Gu Lingyun will wait for her to make friends with such important people, which will greatly help her future future Big."

Shen Shi pursed his lips, apparently he hadn't thought that such a seemingly simple incident would have so much meaning behind it, and at the same time, he only heard Shen Tai continue: "But the most important thing is to secretly plot against a master of the Yuandan realm. For such a dangerous and dangerous event, Gu Lingyun has almost no risk at all from the beginning to the end. It's fine if it succeeds, and it doesn't matter if it fails. As she said, the most is to hand me over to Xuan The yin gate is hacked into pieces and the soul is extracted, and because you are in their hands, it is impossible for me to confess that the gods will be involved in this matter."

Speaking of this, his voice involuntarily paused, Shen Shi beside him changed his face greatly, while Shen Tai took a deep breath, smiled wryly, and said, "For such a calculation, I didn't count it until a while ago. Think through it."

Shen Shi's face became paler, but Shen Tai seemed to be a little more relaxed than before, and said: "Shitou, the words I told you point out the turbulence in it, and I just want you to understand, There are too many smart people in this world, and all kinds of scheming and tricks will not allow you to be complacent. If you really can worship under Ling Xiaozong in the future, you must remember this."

Shen Shi nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, my child has written it down."

Shen Tai nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Besides, there is one more thing you need to keep in mind. There are many geniuses in the realm of comprehension. There are always people with strange talents and talents, but you are not. But if someone Seeing that you are only twelve years old, but you are proficient in calligraphy and painting of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and ten complex runes without any mistakes, you must be amazed that you are a genius, and admire your extraordinary talent, do you understand the reason?"

Shen Shi frowned, with a look of thought on his face, Shen Tai patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said: "That is the power of dripping water, and if you persevere, you can wear it through the stone. Since you were five years old, I forced you Practicing calligraphy and painting has never stopped for seven years, and only after a long time has there been some achievements. Although the talisman is a low-level way, and the father's way is humble, it is true that it can't teach you anything other than that, but the In truth, I think it’s all the same.”

Shen Shi nodded and said: "Yes, I understand."

Shen Tai looked at his son in front of him, suddenly smiled, and said: "Son, I really don't have any skills as a father. What other people give their children is all their wealth. When it's my turn, I only have a few fluffy words." .Don't blame dad."

Shen Shi shook his head heavily.

Shen Tai laughed, rubbed the corners of his eyes casually, stroked his face and remained silent for a moment, then said: "You will leave this place later, presumably the butcher will take you away. Although we father and son have a little relationship with him, Friendship, but life and death matters, so don't trust others. People in Taoism, especially casual cultivators, have always attached great importance to spirit crystals, just in case..." Shen Tai pondered for a moment, reached into his arms to feel for a moment, but He took out three sparkling spirit crystals, handed them to Shen Shi, and said softly, "You can't have too many spirit crystals on your body, so as not to cause trouble to your upper body."

Shen Shi silently put away the spirit crystal, raised his head and glanced at his father, his heart trembled for no reason, listening to the tone of this voice, it seemed that Shen Tai was explaining his funeral, but in this situation, he could not help but silently Apart from nodding his head in agreement, there was nothing he could do.

After the matter was explained one by one, Shen Tai's expression was also relieved, as if he had finally let go of the big stone in his heart, although there was still a trace of worry lingering on his brows, after all, father and son had been dependent on each other for many years, and it was difficult to part with each other. It is the best outcome. In the next few years, Shen Shi can only rely on himself, even if he is still only a 12-year-old boy.

But he hardened his heart after all, stood up, and Shen Shi's face suddenly turned pale.The parting is imminent, after today, who knows if we will see you again, the corners of Shen Tai's eyes were slightly red, he hesitated to speak, after a moment of silence, he took out something and stuffed it into Shen Shi's hand.

It was a small jade hourglass, old and worn, but through the white and crystal clear jade surface, one could still see the fine grains of sand flowing and sliding down without stopping.

"This is the gadget your mother gave me for the first time back then. I'll keep it all the time. I'll give it to you in the future. No matter what happens, I'll keep it in my mind..."

After all, he took a deep look at his son for the last time, walked to the door without hesitation, and said loudly to the outside:

"Shopkeeper Gu, are you still there?"

※※※

The footsteps sounded and went away, two figures, one big and one small, disappeared in this room.Shen Tai and Gu Lingyun stood on the edge of the patio, neither looked back.

The butcher took Shen Shi away, and they didn't go out through the gate, but went straight to somewhere in the backyard, where there was a secret passage leading to another unknown secret place of the Immortal Society in West Lu City. There, naturally, there will be a secret way to escape from Xilu City quietly.

But at this moment, in the past five years, the two top men and women in the field of spiritual material business on the cultivation path in Xilu City stood side by side like this.

After a while, it was Gu Lingyun who spoke first, but what she said was a little strange, with some rare sighs and sighs, as well as a hint of sarcasm, she said, "Speaking of which, I quite admire Xuan Xuan. Those vassal families in Yinmen don’t have much to do in cultivation, but they are really clean and decisive in crowding out people.”

A nonsensical sentence, from the outside it looks chunky and ordinary, Shen Tai usually gives people the first impression that he is very inconspicuous, but Shen Tai seemed to understand it naturally, smiled and said: "You don't need to say it , I also know that they have disliked me for a long time."

Gu Lingyun turned his eyes and glanced at him. There seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes, and he responded softly: "Oh?"

Shen Tai said indifferently: "For hundreds of years, the Li family, Wang family, Xu family and Song family, these aristocratic families who are vassals of the Xuanyin sect, have performed their duties. Some of them are dispensing alchemy, and some are dedicated to mining spirit crystals. In short, it seems that the sphere of influence has been divided. This piece is mine, and that piece is yours. It's just sucking blood."

The corners of Gu Lingyun's mouth curled up, as if he wanted to laugh, but then he held back, but his complexion added a bit of coquettishness. He glanced at Shen Tai and said, "I can't see that you, Boss Shen, can say such mean things."

Shen Tai snorted, and said: "In the sect, anyone with a discerning eye can't see it? It's just that these vassal families are old and senior, and the various relationships in the sect are deeply rooted, and some of them are quite high-ranking The elders of weight are from these aristocratic families, so the Xuanyin sect didn't bother to pay attention to it. It's a pity that no one would have thought that such a strange person like me would appear now, and in the city of Xilu, there would be such a strange person as Tianyilou. A freak. I have a thriving shop that handles all their various duties for them, and it is also done several times better. Not to mention the greater number of spiritual materials handed in every month, You can also hand in more spirit crystals from the sect, instead of asking the sect to pay the spirit crystals of these aristocratic families like before. Tell me, is this the same as killing them?"

Gu Lingyun originally had a smile on her face, but as she listened, the smile on her face gradually faded. After Shen Tai finished speaking, she was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, then looked at Shen Tai, and said slowly:

"It seems that under the Xuanyin sect, a talent like you is really wronged."
