Chapter 241 Only God Knows (The King Returns!)
"Sky?" Xue Qing was startled, then subconsciously raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky. After a moment, he retorted in a low voice with little confidence:
"Master, it shouldn't be the sky, you see..."
After a pause, Xue Qing pointed his hand toward the sky and continued, "There are white clouds floating above our heads. Shouldn't the first thing we see when we look up be clouds?"
"Besides, we are outside now and what we see are clouds. If we were inside the house, we would see something different."
At this point, Xue Qing's gaze fell back on Shen Shu's face and said, "Master, your question is actually very meaningful, but I think it should be qualified with some prerequisites, so that there will be a unique answer."
Shen Shu shook his head, his tone very sure: "No need to add any restrictions, there is only one answer to this question, and that is heaven."
(How could it be Tian?! Has Shenshu been with the Demon King for too long and has something wrong with his brain?)
Although he really wanted to refute Shen Shu again, Xue Qing knew that doing so was meaningless and would only make Shen Shu unhappy.
Therefore, she could only pretend to be a student asking a teacher for help: "Xue Qing is stupid, please help me."
Shenshu put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Mr. Xue, the Buddha is very happy that you asked him questions, but unfortunately, I cannot answer your questions about this question."
Xue Qing was stunned when he heard this, "Ah?! But didn't you just tell me the only answer to this question, Master?"
Shen Shu once again looked up at the sky and sighed, "Because I am the one who enters the question, not the one who solves it."
"Enter the topic? Solve the problem? What on earth is Shen Shu talking about?" Xue Qing was confused, but he still asked curiously:
"Master, could you please tell me who is the person who solved the problem?"
Shen Shu lowered his head, looked at Xue Qing with a smile, and asked back: "Didn't I tell you the answer a long time ago?"
"Told me a long time ago?" Hearing this, Xue Qing was even more confused, "When did Shen Shu tell me the answer? Didn't I just ask..."
But suddenly, Xue Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Shen Shu with a bit of disbelief in his eyes and asked:
"You mean Qingyun Immortal Sect?! So you deliberately asked me to deceive the people of Qingyun Immortal Sect, saying that someone here launched a heinous blood sacrifice ritual to lure them over here?"
She had reason to guess.
With his extraordinary cultivation, it should be easy for him to complete the task assigned by the Demon King in this mortal town, even if there is a Mahayana golden toad guarding outside the town.
But Shen Shu acted out of character, not only acting in a high-profile manner, but also letting himself lure people from Qingyun Immortal Sect over. Could it be that he...
Thinking of this, the word "incredible" filled Xue Qing's eyes directly: "But don't you know that the head of Qiongming Peak in Qingyun Immortal Sect is very powerful? Tian Yan once told me that he can't be judged by the cultivation level of the Nine Realms!"
Shen Shu nodded and smiled, "Of course I know. It is precisely because I know that I want to do this."
Xue Qing simply couldn't understand and shouted, "Madman! You are a fucking madman! Do you know that with that person's cultivation level, if we really attract her attention, the sect behind us will not be able to protect us at all."
Shen Shu seemed very happy that Xue Qing called him a lunatic, and corrected her mistake with a smile: "You are wrong, Mr. Xue, it's not the sect behind it, but the Lord Demon."
Xue Qing still couldn't understand: "Even if the Demon King protects us, our ultimate goal is to ascend to the upper realm. Isn't it better to complete the mission quietly? Why do you have to do this?!"
Shen Shu shook his head, "If it was more than 6,000 years ago, ascending to the upper realm would indeed be my ultimate goal, but now, it is not."
Xue Qing asked curiously: "What is your ultimate goal now?"
Shen Shu pointed to the azure sky and said with a mysterious smile: "Only God knows."
Xue Qing left. She didn't want to chat with this lunatic anymore.
However, Shenshu did not leave, because a silver-haired girl with a black headband came running over.
Shenshu put his hands together, smiled and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, I saw you rushing here from afar, is there anything urgent that you want to talk to me about?"
He knew this little girl whom he had met a few times. She was the granddaughter of a resident in the small town and she had an older sister.
As for why he remembered her so clearly, it was because she was sweet and cute, and fit the image of the sacrifice that the Demon King had described.
Shen Shu thought he was lucky as he found the sacrifice after a short while of searching. But unfortunately, when he asked about the details, he learned that the girl still had half a year to go before her coming-of-age ceremony.
There is no choice, the age does not meet the requirement, so I can only let her go. ?
The silver-haired girl gasped and said, "Master Shen...Master Shenshu, the mayor is looking for you."
Shen Shu asked in confusion, "What does he want from me?"
The silver-haired girl said in a trembling voice: "Sister Xiaohong, she...she is gone!"
Shen Shu asked in confusion again: "Who is Donor Xiaohong?"
The silver-haired girl explained, "Sister Xiaohong is the mayor's granddaughter. Today is her eighteenth birthday. We had agreed to celebrate her birthday, but it was almost evening and we didn't see Sister Xiaohong come to the agreed place."
"I went to ask the mayor and found out that Sister Xiaohong had left home early in the morning."
As she spoke, the silver-haired girl began to sob softly: "Wow~ We all suspect that Sister Xiaohong is the same as the previous sisters, missing inexplicably, and her life or death is unknown..."
"The mayor said that Miss Xiaohong might just be lost, so he wants to ask the master to cast a spell to find her."
The sacrifice I grabbed this morning was the old man's granddaughter...Shen Shu asked again:
"Is the Miss Xiaohong you are talking about a girl with a big peony hanging around her waist?"
The silver-haired girl's eyes were slightly red, and she asked in surprise: "Master, how did you know? Have you seen Sister Xiaohong?"
Oh, it really is that old man's granddaughter, what a sin... Shenshu put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I wish you all the best. Please accept my condolences. Donor Xiaohong has met with an accident."
"I just came over from Cangli River and found a few peony petals left there. Your sister Xiaohong might be... Amitabha!"
The silver-haired girl turned pale upon hearing this, and murmured in a low voice: "Impossible, impossible, grandma said that the Cangli River is guarded by the Lord of Water, and Sister Xiaohong will not be in trouble."
The bad news came suddenly. After a while, the silver-haired girl wiped the tears from her eyes and clasped her hands together towards Shen Shu and said:
"Thank you for telling me this news, Master. I'm going back to see the mayor. Master, will you come with me?"
Shen Shu shook his head, "No, I won't go. Since I know that Donor Xiaohong got into trouble in Cangli River, I will go over there to look for her body."
"Thank you so much, Master Shenshu!"
After saying thank you, the silver-haired girl hurriedly ran into the town again, but before she had taken a few steps, Shen Shu suddenly called her.
"Master Zhu, please wait a moment."
The silver-haired girl stopped, turned around, and asked in confusion: "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Shu asked, "I wonder when my sister will return from the Myriad Beasts Mountains?"
......
ps: I really didn’t run away. The author was locked up in a small dark room for seven days and revised it several times before it came out last night. Woohoo!
If there are readers who read the book after October 10, they will see the word "deleted" in the titles of some chapters. Those are the chapters that have been put in the small black room and must be revised in their entirety.
There is no way to get into the small dark room, there are bad people among the masses! Look at the chapters written by the author and make a fuss!
Sigh! The author can only be extra careful in the following words, but please rest assured, I still have to drive occasionally, and I can't forget my handy gadgets, hehe!
Finally, if there are still friends who support the author, please send me a message and give me a small gift if possible.
After seven days in the dark room, the income from this book has dropped to a few dollars a day, woo woo woo~
If I hadn’t already written the ending of the outline, I would have thought… Oh! It can’t end badly, it must have a beginning and an end!
