Chapter 156: Lost

Zhong Qinglu raised her arm and slapped a few times on the stone door, a few low voices sounded, she waited for a while, but found that there was no movement in the cave. Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and knocked a few times, but the stone door stood still and did not react at all.

"Could it be that you have gone to another place on the mountain?" Zhong Qinglu thought to herself, and at this time, a man's voice suddenly came from behind her, saying, "Don't knock, the stone is not there." ”

Zhong Qinglu turned around, and saw a person standing far away behind him, it was Sun You, and what he said just now was also what he said. Zhong Qinglu took two steps forward, with a little doubt, and said, "Isn't he in the cave?"

Sun You was silent for a moment and said calmly: "No, he is not on Jinhong Mountain, he has already gone down the mountain yesterday." ”

Zhong Qinglu was stunned, a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed in her eyes, Sun You looked at her eyes, and sighed softly in her heart, but the expression on her face did not change, and said, "What, are you looking for a stone?"

Zhong Qinglu was silent for a while, but he shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, but there are some small things that I wanted to come over and talk to him, so don't worry." ”

Sun You said: "He may not be able to come back for a while, he should come back to me at that time, if necessary, let me tell him for you?"

Zhong Qinglu smiled, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "No need, you just need to tell him when the time comes, I have come to look for him." ”

Sun You let out an "oh" and nodded in agreement.

Zhong Qinglu walked forward to leave, Sun You sideways out of the way, watching this beautiful and moving woman walk by him, stepping on the mountain road and walking in the direction of the valley.

It's just that Zhong Qinglu walked and walked, I don't know why, but suddenly the footsteps gradually slowed down, and it didn't take long for him to stop not far from Sun You's side, standing there without turning around, just facing Sun You with his back to him, standing motionless, as if he suddenly fell into a strange state of trance.

Sun You was a little stunned for a while, but after waiting for a while, he saw that Zhong Qinglu was still like this, and couldn't help but open his mouth and said to Zhong Qinglu's back: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Zhong Qinglu didn't turn around, just stood quietly, and suddenly said, "Sun You, do you often come to this valley on weekdays?"

Sun You said casually: "No, but when the stone was there, I also came to him a few times...... Huh?"

His face changed suddenly, and his words were suddenly interrupted, as if he realized something, but Zhong Qinglu had already turned around at this time and looked at Sun You, with a cold and flat expression on his face, but there seemed to be two strange lights in those eyes, which were a little unusually bright.

She looked at Sun You and said, "In that case, but you just knew that Shen Shi was not on Jinhong Mountain, why did you come to this valley Jedi that no one visits at all on weekdays?" Zhong Qinglu stared at him coldly, and said slowly, word by word,

"Are you here because of me?"

Liuyun City, a hut in the north of the city.

Shen Shi got up in the morning, walked around the small courtyard outside the house twice, then returned to the house and sat down at the desk, then took out a rune paper and cinnabar, neatly placed it on the table, and after calming down, he took the rune pen and dipped it in cinnabar, and began to draw runes on the copy.

There was a sound of thin footsteps behind her, it was Ling Chunni who also walked over, and when she saw Shen Shi's concentrated appearance, she didn't dare to disturb, so she stood quietly and watched.

Shen Shi traced all the way, his movements were skillful and calm, and there were almost no mistakes or omissions, but after all, runes were difficult and complicated things, so after about ten sheets, he put down the rune pen in his hand, gently rubbed his right wrist, and then his eyes fell on the ten rune papers with runes drawn on the table, and after examining it, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slowly.

At this time, Ling Chunni walked up to him, took his arm and helped him rub it, and glanced at the rune paper with a little curiosity, and said, "Are these talismans?"

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Not counting it, at the moment, these are just the rune patterns I have drawn on the rune paper, and I can't use it like a rune, only when I finish the last spirit infusion and condense the five elements spell in it later, it will be considered a complete success, and it will become a rune that can really be sacrificed and used." ”

Ling Chunni let out an "ah", with a little surprise and a little smile, and smiled at Shen Shi: "You can actually make talismans, it's so powerful, I've heard people say before that talismans are extremely difficult to cultivate." ”

Shen Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, in fact, I have been forced by my father to practice for many years since I was a child, so I have a good foundation." Saying that, he suddenly seemed to feel something, got up and glanced at Ling Chunni, with a little concern in his eyes, and said, "Hey, why are your hands so cold, is it that your clothes are not cold enough?" ”

Ling Chunni shook his head and grinned, but he withdrew his hands and put them together, rubbed them a few times, and said with a smile: "I'm not cold, maybe it's because I just got up and washed the water, you see I wiped it a few times, and my hands are hot?"

Shen Shi shook his head and smiled, simply stretched out his hand and grabbed Ling Chunni's white and soft hands in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Then it's better for me to give you warmth, maybe it's faster." ”

Ling Chunni stuck out his tongue, leaned over, leaned on Shen Shi's chest, and said after a while: "Shi, do you plan to use these talismans when you go out of the city to fight and hunt with demon beasts in the future?"

Shen Shi said "um" and said, "Yes, although many people look down on the Five Elements Technique nowadays, in fact, I think this kind of Dao magic power is still very strong, and with the help of the talisman, it will make it much easier for me to hunt demon beasts." ”

Ling Chunni nodded and said, "That's good, in short, you must be safe, otherwise...... By the way, when are you going to leave the city?"

Shen Shi thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow and tomorrow." ”

Ling Chunni was taken aback and said, "So fast, didn't you say yesterday that you would still be here to comprehend the two new spells that your master gave you?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "I read those two spells once, one is a third-order spell and the other is a second-order spell, both of which are not instantaneous to learn, and even if you understand it thoroughly, it will still take a long time to hone your skills." So in the near future, I may still not be able to use these two new techniques, so let's go out of the city to hunt first, and then sharpen and cultivate, when I was on Jinhong Mountain, my master also said this to me. ”

Ling Chunni nodded silently and didn't say anything more, but couldn't help but lean closer to Shen Shi's chest again, as if there was a warm breath there, which made her always a little reluctant.

Shen Shi patted her head with a smile, stood with her in his arms for a while, and said, "Okay, I still have to go out today, to the Chengnan Immortal Society, first, to retrieve some spirit crystals that exist over there, and secondly, these talisman-making spiritual materials still need to be bought, and by the way, I can also ask acquaintances over there to inquire about the news." ”

Ling Chunni nodded, let go of his hand and stood beside him, looked at Shen Shi with clear eyes, and said softly: "Then you go, remember to go early and return early." ”

Shen Shi smiled, took her hand, rubbed it lightly twice, and then walked out, only took two steps and suddenly turned back, and said, "Chunni, if you feel that it is still a little cold, add an extra piece of clothing, don't freeze." ”

Ling Chunni smiled and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Leaving this safe and secluded small house, Shen Shi walked through the street aisle, all the way to Nanbaofang in the south of Liuyun City, from a distance, the golden signboard and high-rise pavilion of the Immortal Society are still as eye-catching and tall as ever, and at the same time, there are still countless monks in the past, coming in and out of the shops of the Immortal Society, which makes it more and more bustling here.

Shen Shi followed the crowd into the spacious and bright shop lobby of the Immortal Society, and after first casually looking at the spiritual materials on a few counters, he suddenly saw a familiar face in front of the crowd, which was Chen Li, who had had several faces.

When he was a little hesitant to step forward to say hello, Chen Li, who was looking around with his hands in his hands, also swept his gaze over him. Chen Li was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile, and immediately walked over quickly, it seemed that he had remembered Shen Shi as well.

Shen Shi didn't have to worry about it now, he greeted him with a smile, and after a few words of greeting, Chen Li smiled and said: "Shen Gongzi, after the auction in the other courtyard that day, I didn't see Gongzi come again, did you come here today to choose any goods?"

Shen Shi nodded, and said, "Well, I want to come over and buy some first-order and second-order talisman spirit materials, by the way, ......" He pondered for a moment, and his speed of speech was slight, but Chen Li was a character with eyebrows, glanced at Shen Shi's expression that seemed to be a little hesitant, took a step forward and lowered his voice a little, and said softly: "Childe, do you want to visit our shopkeeper Gu?"

Shen Shi thought for a while and said, "If she's not busy, I want to ask to see her." ”

Chen Li smiled slightly, and said: "That's it, Gongzi will wait around again, go upstairs to tell Shopkeeper Gu, and report to Gongzi, do you think it's okay?"

Shen Shi hurriedly smiled and said, "That's the best, thank you Brother Chen." ”

Chen Li smiled and waved his hand, then turned around and went straight away.

Shen Shimu sent him away, and then wandered around in the hall of this immortal club, looking here and there, and found that all the spiritual materials here were still as complete as in the past, and there were many rare treasures, and there were many things that he was very tempted to see, but it was a pity to touch the wishful bag, the bag was shy, and the poor were short-sighted.

It didn't take long for Chen Li to come downstairs again, and found Shen Shi at a counter, saying that Gu Lingyun invited him upstairs to meet. After thanking Chen Li, Shen Shi walked all the way up the stairs to the large room on the fourth floor that belonged to Gu Lingyun and knocked on the door.

"Come in. A gentle woman's voice came from inside the room.

Shen Shi pushed the door and entered, only to see Gu Lingyun sitting behind the wide desk, the desk was full of all kinds of files and documents, and he looked like he was dealing with affairs.

Seeing Shen Shi coming, Gu Lingyun first smiled at him from afar, and then said, "Come and sit." ”

Shen Shi walked over and sat down on the other side of the desk, Gu Lingyun casually put aside a file in his hand, then looked at Shen Shi with a smile, and said, "It's rare that you will come over, what's the matter, isn't it a little eyebrow on what I trusted?"

Shen Shi said slightly apologetically: "Aunt Gu, I have been looking for some time in the sea of books in the mountains, but there are too many ancient scrolls and books in it, and I really haven't found the record of Huang Ming you said at the moment." ”

Gu Lingyun shrugged, looking a little lazy and strangely beautiful, but with a different style, and said with a smile: "I also know that I can't be in a hurry about this, it's okay, as long as you have the heart to help me read a book." ”

Shen Shi nodded, and then said what he wanted to do today, Gu Lingyun seemed to be full of care, and casually found someone to come and ordered to help Shen Shi prepare the corresponding spirit crystals and spirit materials, and at the same time glanced at Shen Shi again, and said, "Do you want to go out of the city to hunt demon beasts?"

Shen Shi said: "I have read the geographical records of Haizhou, and I don't want to be too far away from Liuyun City this time, so I plan to go to 'Centipede Mountain' for a walk." ”

Gu Lingyun let out an "oh", thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Although there are many demon beasts in Centipede Mountain, the grade is not too high, most of them are low-level demon beasts, and those above the third order are very rare, but it is indeed quite suitable." ”

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, as if she remembered something, and said, "By the way, I heard that for some reason in that area these days, in addition to the original demon beasts, it seems that there are still some ghosts in the depths of the mountain range, which has hurt the lives of some scattered cultivators who have been honing and exploring in the past. However, this news has just come out, so it may not be credible, in short, you have to be careful yourself. ”

Shen Shi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Aunt Gu for reminding me." ”
