Chapter 242 First Five

Shen Shi paused, stopped, stared at the gap in the stone door over there, and carefully looked at it, confirming that it was not his own dazzled but indeed the stone door that had been closed all year round actually opened a crack in the door today, and he was also a little stunned in his heart.

For a long time, this cave has been closed and unmoved, and Shen Shidu has gradually become accustomed to being alone in this secluded valley, but now, it seems that he really has a neighbor. This fact made Shen Shi feel a little strange in his heart, and at the same time, he was also a little hesitant in his heart, and he was not sure whether he wanted to go over and say hello to this strange and unmasked neighbor.

It's just that he stood in place for a while, only to see that the stone gate has remained the same, and there is no sign of people entering and leaving.

Shen Shi took a step forward, but after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head, thinking that since the owner of this cave mansion had not been in contact with him for so long, he must be a person with a quiet personality, and he rushed over to disturb him so rashly, but he was afraid that he would dislike it. Besides, the cultivators on Jinhong Mountain, unless they really have a relationship, no one will study behind closed doors after returning to the cave, and there are really few people who visit the door everywhere.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi turned around and continued to walk in the direction of his cave in front of him, anyway, everyone cultivates their own ways, and no one provokes anyone. Xiao Hei followed him, humming and trotting, not looking very interested in the cave. It's just that when the two figures of them gradually disappeared into the depths of this valley, after a long time, a light footstep suddenly sounded from behind the stone gate, and then suddenly stretched out a hand behind the stone gate and put it on top of the stone gate.

There was a rumbling sound from under the stone gate, and it slowly closed, everything looked like it was about to return to its original calm appearance, and under the light of the valley, you could see the palm on the side of the stone gate, which was not too big, but the skin of the whole palm was very rough, as if it was the hand of a farmer who had been doing heavy farm work all day in the world, and gently closed the stone door.

With a "bang", with the last loud sound, the stone door closed tightly again, and returned to its previous cold and desolate appearance.

※※※

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is time to announce the final ranking of the Black Crow Ridge Trial in the Hundred Mountains Realm.

Shen Shi has hardly gone out in the past few days, he has been pranayama and cultivation in the cave to recover his body, and with the help of the Golden Tiger Pill with extraordinary magic given by Zhong Qinglu, the injuries he suffered in the Black Crow Ridge have basically healed.

In the middle of this, Sun You came to him again, but it was not a big deal, it was just a matter of gossiping, and by the way, he also looked at Shen Shi's injury, and took this opportunity to ask him what the identity of the owner of the cave next door was, I don't know if Sun You, a well-informed person, would know.

Who knew that Sun You really didn't know who lived next to him, he was stunned at the time, and he also said that he thought that the cave next to him was abandoned and uninhabited, and Shen Shi was also helpless, so he said that he saw that there seemed to be movement in the stone gate that day, so Sun You agreed to come down, and went back to find someone to ask to see who lived inside.

On this day, he got up early, calmed down in his cave, and finished his daily practice of drawing talismans, Shen Shi only felt that he was full of energy, and when he opened the stone door and walked out, the cool breeze blew, and he couldn't help but stretch his waist first. Next to him, a black shadow rushed over, it was Xiao Hei, who ran to his feet and rubbed it a few times, very affectionate.

Shen Shi smiled and leaned over and touched its head, and said, "Xiao Hei, let's go, let's go to the sea viewing platform to see, what ranking can we have this time?"

Saying that, after closing the stone gate of the cave mansion, he took Xiao Hei along the mountain road, really to talk about it, Shen Shi himself actually had some expectations for this ranking, not to mention anything else, just the intact demon pills of the two fourth-order demon beasts that he got back were extremely valuable, plus those fragmentary but quite a few fourth-order demon beast body shell spiritual materials, this harvest Shen Shi was confident that among all the disciples who participated in the trial, it should be in the forefront.

If you can really enter the top five, you can't say that you will be able to get a treasure given by the sect, which will definitely be of great benefit to your strength and even the trip to the secret realm of Wentian half a year later.

Thinking about it all the way, he took Xiao Hei and walked out of the valley, and unconsciously walked outside the cave with the stone door closed. When he walked here, Shen Shi subconsciously slowed down, and glanced at the entrance of the cave over there, only to see that the stone gate over there had been closed tightly, and the stone path outside the cave was still full of fallen and dead leaves, almost exactly the same as before.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw the stone door open a crack yesterday, Shen Shi would really have thought that nothing had changed.

After glancing at it silently for a few moments, Shen Shi shook his head slightly, thinking to himself that he didn't know which senior brother or sister with a strange temperament in the same sect lived here, and he was so remote and weird. However, there are thousands of cultivators, and there are not a few who are intoxicated and indulged in the search for the Great Dao, and it is not surprising that some people have strange temperaments. So Shen Shi didn't pay too much attention to it, anyway, everyone didn't interact with each other and didn't disturb each other, so it didn't matter.

He walked all the way through, and behind him, the cave was lonely, only in this secluded valley, as if it had become part of the mountain range.

Walking all the way through the mountain road and crossing the layers of stone steps, Shen Shi finally walked to the wide and flat sea viewing platform.

As soon as he came up, Shen Shi was startled by the scene he saw in front of him, and saw that on the viewing platform, which was very lively on weekdays, it turned out to be a black and oppressive figure at this moment, and it seemed that the number of people was several times more than usual, giving people the feeling that the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect on the entire Jinhong Mountain had come here to see the excitement.

Seven huge Hongjun stone pillars stand on the square, and you can see from afar that in the center of the viewing platform, that is, on the stone pillar in the center of the seven Hongjun pillars, a yellow cloth banner is hung, on which the words are written with a red pen, row by row, clearly visible, countless disciples of the Lingxiao Sect are surrounding below, looking up.

Shen Shi's heart jumped, knowing that it must be the announcement of this trial, so he hurriedly squeezed inside, and at the same time subconsciously glanced around, but saw that there was a crowd of people, and he didn't see the faces he knew for the time being, Sun You, Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu and others, they didn't know where to go now, maybe they were somewhere in this crowd.

Shen Shi felt that he was a little inexplicably nervous, and then secretly smiled bitterly, thinking that he still attached great importance to this ranking, and slowly squeezed closer, seeing that the handwriting had already appeared visible, Shen Shi hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that there were many names and harvests recorded on the bright yellow cloth flag, but at the top, the most conspicuous list of names There are dozens of people, these are the most critical and important disciples who can enter the secret realm of Wentian. In addition to this, above all the names, there is the largest line of handwriting, only five.

Names of five people.

Shen Shi's heart beat inexplicably, and he didn't even care about the people around him, he just swayed with the crowd, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the yellow cloth flag.

From top to bottom, the top five.

Five names:

Zhong Qinglu.

Zhong Qingzhu.

Shen Shi......

Shen Shi!Third place.

Shen Shi held his breath for a moment, and looked at it carefully a few times, only then did he definitely not make a mistake, and suddenly a burst of joy welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but clench his fist and wave his hand vigorously.

Although he had expected and looked forward to it in his heart, when he really appeared in front of him, Shen Shi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the third place was even higher than he expected, after all, he originally just thought that it would be good to be in the top five.

And carefully glanced at the remaining two positions in the top five, the fourth is also a familiar name, Gan Ze, and the fifth name is completely unfamiliar, Kang Youling, it seems to be the name of a female disciple.

At this moment, there was a sea of people on the viewing platform, and everyone was staring at the top five on the yellow cloth banner and discussing, but no one would question the fairness of this, after all, it was all supervised by the elders of the Yuan Dan Realm personally, and when the harvest was counted, it was almost impossible to cheat.

But obviously in everyone's minds, the results of this trial, especially the top five places won in the end, were still greatly beyond the expectations of many people, and the most talked about were of course the first two positions.

Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu.

No one could have imagined that it would be two female disciples who were both from the Liuyun Zhong family to get the top two, the probability is a little too small, but the facts are in front of them, at this moment, I don't know how many people will secretly wonder in their hearts, could it be that the Liuyun Zhong family, which has been weakened for a long time, really has to rely on these two junior women to rise again?

And Shen Shi also slowly calmed down after being excited, and also noticed this, and was also a little stunned in his heart, and then remembered that when she saw Zhong Qinglu return that day, she seemed to casually say something lucky, what treasures she had found, and so on. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now, it seems that the treasure I picked up really seems to be something amazing.

Thinking back on his experience, the corners of Shen Shi's mouth couldn't help twitching, thinking that the names of himself and Zhong Qingzhu were almost lost in the Black Crow Ridge, and they finally took a trip to the ghost gate, how many dangers were there, and how much scheming was used, so that they could exchange for those valuable harvest spiritual materials.

But compared to Zhong Qinglu's side...... Shen Shi smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering if luck was really still an indispensable attribute of a person in the cultivation path......

Other than that, Ganze's top-five finish is not a surprise, in fact most people would have preferred him to finish first. For some reason, Shen Shi saw Gan Ze below him, and his mood suddenly became a little inexplicably happy.

As for the fifth place Kang Youling, Shen Shi was not very familiar with it, so he didn't pay attention to it, and at this moment, on the viewing platform, there were many people, and everyone was discussing, suddenly a deep voice came from the sky above the viewing platform, which instantly suppressed all the voices, like the sound of bells and drums, and drifted out far away:

"The announcement has been released, everyone has returned to their positions, and the top five will go to the Cloud Hall to meet the real person in charge. ”
