Chapter 198: Confession

Zhong Qingzhu walked into the room, sat down beside Ling Chunni, first glanced at her, and then said, "When did you come back?"

Ling Chunni said: "Just arrived." ”

Zhong Qingzhu frowned slightly, with a hint of puzzlement, and said, "Didn't you just go for a day, Tianhong City is so big, why did you come back in such a hurry?"

Ling Chunni wanted to speak and stopped, and finally smiled bitterly and said, "Something happened, and there was also something going on at the Stone Master's Gate, so after the two of us discussed, we came back first." ”

Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Well, it has indeed been a few days since the selection of elite disciples of the Four Righteous Conferences of this sect to the Hundred Mountains Realm, and it is indeed a little tight to calculate the days." ”

Ling Chunni glanced at Zhong Qingzhu's face with some concern, and saw that although her complexion was much better than a few days ago, she was still a little pale, and couldn't help but say with a little concern: "Qingzhu, are you going too, is there anything wrong with your body?"

Zhong Qingzhu's expression was indifferent, and he said: "It is customary to avoid the disciples under the elder's seat from slacking off, so disciples like me and Shen Shi who have obtained quotas also have to pass, and everyone gathers together, which also has the intention of promoting." Otherwise, if he is compared to other ordinary disciples, not only will he lose face, but even the face of the master will be dull, which is still very important. After a pause, she added, "In about the next two days, I should go back to the mountain." ”

"I see. Ling Chunni nodded, at this time she had already removed the seal of the altar of bamboo leaf green wine, took two cups casually, poured them full and handed them to Zhong Qingzhu.

A clear and mellow smell of wine suddenly diffused, floating in this room, even Zhong Qingzhu, who has rarely drunk alcohol, smelled it and felt a little sweet, and couldn't help but be stunned: "This wine seems to be excellent, is it the bamboo leaf green you just said?"

Ling Chunni smiled, "Yes." By the way, when I said this name just now, you seemed a little surprised, have you heard of it before?"

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this, but there are two words in the name of this wine that match my name, so I was a little surprised for a while." ”

Ling Chunni suddenly smiled, waved his hand and said, "Oh, this is not a good thing." ”

Zhong Qingzhu was a little strange and said, "What?"

Ling Chunni briefly talked about the experience of himself and Shen Shi buying this bamboo leaf green wine in Tianhong City yesterday, and finally said that when he said the name of this wine, he also said that this bamboo leaf green actually came from a highly poisonous green snake, and finally shook his head and smiled: "You see that this wine is said to be brewed by soaking the bamboo leaf green snake, you said that it matches your name, doesn't it mean that you are similar to the green snake?"

Zhong Qingzhu thought about it carefully, but he also smiled slightly, shook his head, and raised his eyes to see that Ling Chunni was carefully bringing the wine glass to his mouth and taking a small sip, after a while, but seeing her eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes lit up, but he sighed twice, and said, "Hey, this wine is really delicious." ”

Zhong Qingzhu lowered his eyes and saw that in the cup in front of him, the wine was as green as green bamboo, the color was clear, and the aroma of wine was fragrant, as if it could still reflect her somewhat silent face. She stared for a moment, then suddenly raised her glass, but drank it all in one gulp.

Ling Chunni was startled and said, "Ah...... Why are you drinking so fast?"

Zhong Qingzhu put down the cup, closed his eyes tightly, and the wine went straight down to his throat and chest, burning in his body like a scorching fire line, but it dispelled the original clear taste, leaving only the blazing heat and fierceness like a blazing fire.

It turns out that the same wine, different people drink it, and even the taste is different?

Zhong Qingzhu closed her eyes, her face was slightly pale, and the corners of her mouth showed a faint and slightly bitter smile, and then she only heard her say softly:

"Good wine......"

※※※

Shen Shi left the Xu family's mansion in Liuyun City, went all the way out of the city and went straight to the shore of the sea, and then took the sea crossing immortal boat back to Jinhong Mountain, it was already nearly noon.

Walking on the majestic and vast mountain peaks, whether it is a mountain road or a flat and open sea viewing platform, the number of disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who come and go is quite a lot, but Shen Shi can obviously feel that the atmosphere between the people has begun to be a little solemn and tense, obviously the upcoming trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm is a major event that is enough to change the fate and future of a lifetime for the vast majority of sect disciples, and everyone attaches great importance to it.

When he went up the mountain, Shen Shi didn't meet any acquaintances, and when he walked all the way to the sea viewing platform, he pondered for a while, and then decided to go to the Five Elements Hall first.

The hall has always been deserted, and there are many people inside and outside the Five Elements Palace, and today's scene looks no different from usual, Shen Shi walked all the way to the Five Elements Hall, looked left and right, and found that there were not many figures, and it seemed that even Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi was not here today.

He thought about it, and walked into the back hall of the Five Elements Palace, and after a few corners of the corridor, he found Old Man Pu who was lazily lying on a chaise longue under a tree in the apse garden.

"Master. Shen Shi smiled, shouted, and walked over quickly.

Old man Pu opened one eye and looked at him, and said lazily, "Oh, it's you...... Huh?" Suddenly, he was clever, but his body shook, and he sat up all of a sudden, his eyes shot and he said in a deep voice: "What does this smell like?"

Shen Shi was startled, took a closer look at the jar of bamboo leaf green wine that he had just taken out of the Ruyi bag in his hand, and said in amazement: "No, this seal is good, I didn't see any air leaks or cracks." ”

Old man Pu glanced at the wine jar in his hand, and his spirit was shocked, his eyebrows smiled, and he beckoned: "Good apprentice, good apprentice, come here, go down the mountain, I really remember to bring some wine back for the teacher, I didn't accept your apprentice in vain." ”

Shen Shi walked over, and at the same time sniffed vigorously with his nose, but when the wine jar was not opened, he still didn't smell the slightest smell of wine, thinking to himself how could Master's nose be so powerful, even when Xiao Hei followed him, he didn't see it react to the aroma of wine. Thinking of this, he looked back, but saw that the little pig who had followed him all the way was lying lazily on the grass beside him, basking in the sun with his belly facing the sky, maybe the pig was not interested in wine?

Walking closer, Old Man Pu took the jar of wine, opened it directly, and poured the cup into his mouth like that, only to hear the sound of gurgling and swallowing, and stopped for a while, and then Old Man Pu let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and said: "Good wine, good wine, this bamboo leaf green wine is really the best in the wine." ”

Shen Shi was stunned and said in surprise: "Hey, Master, you are so angry, you actually know that this is bamboo leaf green wine as soon as you drink it?"

Old man Pu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nonsense, your master and I haven't drunk any good wine." Du Tiejian's stinky boy is also a good thing in the cup, sometimes when he asks me for something, he often brings some wine, and twice there is this bamboo leaf green wine. ”

Shen Shi came to his senses and said with a smile: "I see, I was afraid that this wine might not be able to meet Master's taste, so I didn't dare to buy more, and I thought I would give you a taste first." Since you like this wine, the next time I pass by Tianhong City, I will help you bring more back, so that you can drink comfortably. ”

Old man Pu laughed, the old man was relieved, patted Shen Shi's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "Hmm, well, yes, yes, the young man has eyes, much better than your senior sister who has an open head in the wooden fish." ”

Shen Shi was speechless for a while, and said with a smile: "Master, it's not good for you to say that about Senior Sister. ”

Old man Pu snorted, rolled his eyes, and said: "Who said that, you must know, old man, I have worked hard to teach my apprentices, how much effort has been spent, the so-called one day is a teacher and a father for life, children and apprentices have a conscience, and it is natural to be filial and filial." But look at it, that senior sister of yours is like a nymphomaniac all day long......"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Shen Shi hurriedly coughed a few times to interrupt Old Man Pu's increasingly identious words, and said with a smile: "Master, forget it, don't talk about this." ”

Old man Pu snorted twice, and seemed to be still angry about Xu Yanzhi's reluctance to buy him wine and drink on weekdays. Shen Shi stood in place and hesitated for a moment, then looked at Old Man Pu's face, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said with a straight face: "Master, I have something I want to tell you." ”

Old man Pu glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?"

Shen Shi's expression was still a little hesitant, but after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "That's the case, the disciple went to Tianhong City this time, and after buying wine, he wanted to go to the Great Wall to enjoy the scenery, but on the way, there was a conflict with people. ”

"Huh?" Old man Pu nodded, continued to drink with a nonchalant expression, and said with some slurred words: "Oh, there was a fight, right?"

"Uh...... Sort of. Shen Shi thought about it and said honestly, although he always felt that the word fight always sounded a bit like a child fooling around.

Old man Pu wiped his mouth, the expression on his face was still faint, and said, "How many people are there on the other side, have you lost the battle?"

This time Shen Shi thought about it carefully, and then said, "Four, but I won." ”

Old man Pu said "ha", patted Shen Shi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good job, I didn't embarrass my master." ”

But after a pause, Old Man Pu suddenly said with a straight face: "Stinky boy, don't tell me that those guys are ordinary mortals or waste characters who can't reach the stage in the Qi Refining Realm, it's really useless for you to win the battle." ”

Shen Shi smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment and told Old Man Pu about the conflict with Song Pi and others on the Great Wall that night, and at the same time paid attention to the master's expression, only to see that Old Man Pu didn't listen to it at first, especially when he heard that Song Pi, Song Wen, Song Wu and others were in the Ning Yuan Realm, his expression seemed to be a little happier.

It was only in the end that when Shen Shi mentioned that these four people were only afraid that they were from the Yuan Shimen, and that Song Pi was even very likely to be a descendant of the Song family, one of the six saints in the past, that Old Man Pu's face changed for the first time, and he looked slightly more dignified.

"People from the Song family?"

Old man Pu scratched his head full of white hair, glanced at Shen Shi, and suddenly said, "What is the cause of the incident?" I don't think you seem to be someone who will take the initiative to cause trouble. ”

Shen Shi struggled in his heart for a while, and finally decided to confess to his master, so he told all the causes and consequences, including Ling Chunni, and didn't hide much about it.

After hearing this, Old Man Pu was stunned for a moment, staring at Shen Shi, his face looked a little serious, Shen Shi was a little uneasy in his heart, if possible, he really didn't want to tell the master about Ling Chunni, but the Yuan Shimen matter was not particularly clean, although he did not regret the move, but the other party's family background was extraordinary, and the Sizheng Conference was imminent, I was afraid that there would still be some branches coming out at that time, so after thinking about it, he still decided to confess this matter to the master.

After being silent for a long time, seeing that Master was still staring at him, Shen Shi became more and more nervous, and lowered his head and whispered, "Master, am I really wrong and causing you trouble?"

Old man Pu suddenly snorted, but he slapped Shen Shi on the back of the head, and a smile appeared on his face again, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, I can't see it, you guy is young, you are actually more than your senior sister, and you are still ......" and even said three words "also", Old Man Pu didn't seem to know what to say about Shen Shi for a while, just shook his head, but didn't seem to be particularly annoyed and angry.

Shen Shi's heart calmed down for a while, glanced at his master, and asked tentatively, "Master, what about those people in the Yuan Shimen......

Old man Pu snorted, rolled his strange eyes, and sneered:

"What about the Song family of Yuanshimen, is it amazing?"
