Chapter 302: The Snake-like Blade

As the old woman entered the house, through the courtyard of the entrance, she came to the living room where the guests were entertained. Shen Shi glanced around, only to see that the windows in this place were bright and very transparent, which made people feel very comfortable, it seems that in addition to the house itself is good, the people who live here are also very clean, and they clean up their homes very well.

Just walked in for a while, except for this old woman, Shen Shi didn't see anyone else, including even a maid. Staying in the living room and sitting down, when the old lady came over to serve the tea in person, Shen Shi couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you the only one here who is waiting for your subordinates?"

The kind-looking old lady laughed, waved her hand and said, "How can there be any inferior, I am an old woman, I can do anything by myself, and I don't need anyone to serve me." Besides, when I was young, I was actually a servant of a big family, so where do I need others to serve me now?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "I see." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Childe, you drink tea." By the way, are you a friend of Zhong'er?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I came to him for something, but I didn't expect him to be here." ”

The old lady sighed and said, "This kid is just busy, running around all day long, and looking at me makes him feel tired." But he still has some friends like you, so please help me take care of him more in the future. ”

Shen Shi raised his eyes to look at her, and after being silent for a moment, he said, "The old lady is serious. But...... With all due respect, you and I have never known each other in my life, and you are the only one living in the house, so it is actually a bit dangerous for me to enter the house so easily. ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What the son said is indeed reasonable, but I know Zhong'er, although he often runs outside, but he is still very anxious about me, the old lady, and will not reveal this house easily, and only his best friends know about this place." Since Childe knows that he is looking for him here, he must be a good friend of Zhong'er, so of course I have to entertain him well. ”

Shen Shi frowned slightly, and sighed inexplicably in his heart, but then he suddenly became a little wary of the Immortal Society.

The old woman invited Shen Shi to drink tea again, Shen Shiqian gave in, and then only heard the old woman ask with a smile: "By the way, I don't know your honorable name Gongzi, do you have anything to do with Zhong'er?" He has not been at home for a few days, and he has no letter when he will come back, or you leave a message, and I will tell Zhong'er when I go back, what do you think?"

Shen Shi shook his head slowly, and after a while, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he really couldn't do anything too vicious, especially in the face of such a kind old man. Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Forget it, in this matter, let's go back and say it to Chen Zhong in person, and ...... today."

Before the words fell, suddenly the two people in the hall turned their heads to look out at the same time, because at this moment, from the gate of the house in that direction, there were suddenly several "bang" knocks on the door.

A hint of joy appeared on the old woman's face, and she immediately stood up and said to Shen Shi with a smile: "It should be Zhong'er who is back, son, you sit down first, and I'll take him in." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the living room quickly, and walked towards the gate, Shen Shi silently stared at the old woman's back, and didn't say anything more, just took a deep breath, and his eyes slowly cooled.

Kuroki City Immortal Club Branch, Back Hall.

The old shopkeeper who had sent Shen Shi away before was sitting alone in a study at the moment, and for most of the time, this room belonged to him alone, and he also liked to make a pot of fragrant tea in this place, and then think quietly.

At this moment, he was like this, sitting behind the desk, picking up the fragrant teacup in his hand and taking a sip, his eyes fell on the desk table, where there was a wooden box with a soft satin cloth cushion, in which was placed a bead of excellent quality, which was the toad demon pill that Shen Shi took out before.

The old shopkeeper's eyes kept rolling on this demon pill, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had been pondering, and after a while, suddenly there was a knock at the door of the study, breaking the peace in the study.

The old shopkeeper was a little unhappy, and few people would come to disturb him at this time on weekdays, but most of the people who could come over were his henchmen or had something urgent. So he still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said lightly, saying:

"Come in. ”

The door creaked open, but it was the young man who walked in when he saw Shen Shi before, and the shopkeeper glanced at him and said, "Yuan Niu, is there something wrong?"

The young man named Yuan Niu had a somewhat apprehensive expression on his face, but he was still a little anxious, especially when he saw the demon pill placed on the table in front of the shopkeeper, his face suddenly became much more resolute, and he strode all the way over, arching his hand and saying:

"Shopkeeper Song, do we really just ignore that person?"

Shopkeeper Song frowned, glanced at him, and said, "What do you mean?"

Yuan Niu hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Song, we all know about Chen Zhong's affairs, but he is just a person who does some dirty things for some big people in exchange for spiritual crystal cultivation, this person may not be a pity to die, but his old mother doesn't know anything about it, she is kind and charitable on weekdays, and often helps the poor people, and she is also a good name in the city." Such a good person, we can't ......"

"What can't be done?" Shopkeeper Song suddenly raised his voice slightly, stared at Yuan Niu and asked in a deep voice.

Yuan Niu was drunk by him, and the courage he had originally mustered seemed to have been suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, and he was speechless for a moment. Shopkeeper Song glanced at him lightly, reached out and picked up the demon pill in front of him, and after being silent for a moment, he suddenly said, "I remember that you are also a native of Black Wood City, do you have something to do with that old lady Chen?"

Yuan Niu gritted his teeth, suddenly straightened his chest, and said: "Yes, when I was young, my family was poor, and I was once given a few bowls of rice porridge by Mrs. Chen. ”

Shopkeeper Song looked at the young man steadily, Yuan Niu seemed a little nervous and a little scared, but he still blushed and stood in place with his teeth gritted. Gradually, Shopkeeper Song's expression softened, and then he sighed and said, "That Shen Gongzi doesn't seem to be an extremely vicious murderer, and people don't necessarily want to trouble Old Madam Chen in the past. ”

The muscles on Yuan Niu's face twisted, and he couldn't help but say, "But he bought this news with a fourth-order demon pill......"

He didn't say any more about the rest of the words, but the meaning of the words, whether it was himself or the shopkeeper Song, was as clear as a mirror in his heart. The value of a fourth-order demon pill was far more than the life of an ordinary old woman in the eyes of a cultivator, and since that Shen Gongzi had paid this price, it might not be possible for him to become an obstacle to him.

If there is an obstacle, then it is a matter of convenience, at least for the vast majority of cultivators in the world, this truth is universally recognized.

Shopkeeper Song was silent for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Don't meddle in this matter." ”

Yuan Niu shouted hurriedly and said, "Shopkeeper Song, you ......"

Shopkeeper Song suddenly stretched out his hand, blocking Yuan Niu's follow-up plea, and said: "The nameplate in the hand of this Shen Gongzi represents the identity of a distinguished guest recognized by the chief shopkeeper in charge of at least one state in this association, and he does act in accordance with the rules of the Immortal Society, no matter what, we must not interfere." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and covered the wooden box on the table, handed it to Yuan Niu, and said, "You will take this matter to the branch in Liuyun City, Haizhou...... Well, including the main hall, report it and see how the two ends react. As for the Chen family, don't worry about it. ”

A hint of anger and anxiety flashed across Yuan Niu's young face, but after a while, he finally lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Chen's house.

Shen Shi stood at the door of the living room, watched the old woman walk to the door, smiled and reached out to open the door, standing outside the door, it should be his son Chen Zhong.

He took a deep breath, Xu Xueying's beautiful figure flashed in his mind, and without thinking about anything, he stepped out of the threshold of this living room. However, at this moment, suddenly his eyes froze, and his body shook violently, as if he had seen something strange and incredible.

At the other end of the courtyard, the smiling and kind old woman was standing in the open doorway, looking up to say something, when suddenly the expression on her face seemed to stiffen for a moment.

A cold blade, with a bit of blood, pierced through her abdomen and pierced directly through her back.

At that moment, the whole house seemed to suddenly fall into a cold and dead silence, and then in the blink of an eye, the bloody blade was like a poisonous snake, and after shaking it slightly, it passed through the old body with a "whoosh" and took it back.
