Chapter 142: Dissent
The next day, Shen Shi woke up early, and after doing his daily routine in the cave, he was a little restless, and it was easy to see that it was almost dark, so he went straight out of the cave, and walked quickly along the mountain road towards the sea viewing platform.
At this moment, in his mind, of course, it was all about going to the Shutang today, although Xu Yanzhi did not say it explicitly yesterday, but the meaning of the words was actually very clear, plus the words that Elder Pu had privately explained to him in the Five Elements Hall a few days ago, Shen Shi didn't need to guess to know that today was the last and most critical test of whether he could worship under Elder Pu.
It's just that I don't know what this examination is, and it seems that there will be other elders who will come to witness what Elder Pu means that day, and I don't know who it will be?
With some uneasy thoughts in his heart, he unconsciously walked onto the sea viewing platform, and the seven huge Hongjun pillars that looked like they were standing up to the sky and the earth were still the first to imprint into his eyes as usual, and then Shen Shi subconsciously looked in the direction of the elixir hall in front of the sea viewing platform.
Although the crowd has long since dispersed, some remnants of the bonfire still record the thrilling Dan meeting last night, and also tell the most dazzling moment under the night, the tired but beautiful woman stood in the most dazzling place.
Shen Shi stared for a moment, then turned his gaze back and walked in the other direction, the Shutang was the most deserted of the seven halls, not only ranked last, but the location of the Five Elements Hall could not be found around the sea viewing platform, but was built in a remote corner in the distance.
Along the way, there were also many disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect on the road, and when they occasionally passed by them, Shen Shi could vaguely hear a few words of discussion and chat, but they were almost all about the Dan meeting last night, and Zhong Qinglu's three words appeared more frequently, obviously after one night, Zhong Qinglu relied on the performance of this Dan meeting and the opportunity to worship Elder Yunni Sect soon, and his status in the Ling Xiao Sect could be said to have soared.
The words were like a breeze in his ears, lingering for a moment and then quietly gone, Shen Shi continued to walk forward with a calm face, until he was far away from the crowd and came to the outside of the Five Elements Hall of the Art Hall.
As usual, it looks very deserted here, but there is already a figure standing at the entrance of the main hall, it is Xu Yanzhi, as soon as he saw Shen Shi appear, a smile appeared on his face and beckoned to him, signaling him to come over quickly, looking like he was waiting for Shen Shi here.
Shen Shi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran over and said to Xu Yanzhi: "Senior sister, why did you come here so early?"
Xu Yanzhi smiled slightly and said, "Today is your critical day, of course I have to come over to help you watch it." ”
Shen Shi felt a little grateful in his heart, and said, "Thank you, senior sister." ”
Xu Yanzhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't stand here, let's go in and talk." ”
Saying that, she took Shen Shi into the Five Elements Palace, and said to Shen Shi as she walked: "I guess you can guess a few points yourself, that's right, calling you over today means that the master wants to test you one last time before accepting you as an apprentice, but what exactly do you want to test, I have helped you knock on the side and inquire several times in the past few days, but the master just refused to say, so I had to wait for him to come over and explain it to you." ”
Shen Shi nodded, and seeing that there were no other figures in the Five Elements Hall, he lowered his voice a little, and said to Xu Yanzhi: "Senior sister, do you know which elder will come to witness today?"
Xu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It should be Elder Yunni of Dantang." ”
Shen Shi was taken aback, his body was also slightly shocked, and he was stunned: "How could it be her, didn't there just have such a fierce Dan meeting over there in the Dantang last night?"
Xu Yanzhi laughed and said: "What you say doesn't make sense, last night's Dan meeting was naturally thrilling and intense, but the bitter and tired people are all Dantang disciples who participated in the Dan meeting, and Elder Yun himself is just presiding over the Dan meeting, so what does it matter?"
Shen Shi was silent, and he also reacted in his heart, the surprise earlier may be due to some Zhong Qinglu, he was thinking that there might be some kind of grand apprenticeship ceremony on the Dantang side today, but he didn't expect that Elder Yunni didn't seem to care too much about this kind of thing.
He thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but ask Xu Yanzhi again, "Senior sister, there should be no one else except Elder Yunni, right?"
"Nonsense. Xu Yanzhi sneered and said, "Do you think that the elders of our Lingxiao Sect's Yuan Dan Realm are very idle, hmm, well, most of them are indeed quite idle...... In fact, logically speaking, every Yuan Dan Realm elder is qualified to come and witness, but all the elders are all highly respected and famous people, in addition to their own cultivation, they really don't care much about the mundane affairs in the sect, and they won't pay special attention to the assessment of a Ning Yuan Realm disciple. ”
Shen Shi didn't get angry when he heard this, because Xu Yanzhi's words were right, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, and said, "Senior sister, why did Elder Yunni come over?"
Xu Yanzhi said: "It was invited by the master in the past. ”
Shen Shi let out an "ah" and said, "So, teacher...... Elder Pu, does he have a good relationship with Elder Yunni?"
Xu Yanzhi pursed her lips and said, "Not good." ”
"......" Shen Shi was speechless for a while, just looking at Xu Yanzhi.
Xu Yanzhi covered his mouth and laughed, and then said: "I'm telling the truth, Master, he has a strange temperament, and he has a big temper, and he doesn't have any special friends among the many Yuandan Realm elders in the sect, that is, because he is a senior brother from the same master, he has the deepest friendship." ”
Shen Shi scratched his head and said, "Then how could he think of inviting Elder Yunni?" I have heard of it before, Elder Yun, she seems to be ......" He didn't say any more after that, as if he was afraid of something.
Xu Yanzhi smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, although Elder Yun is usually a cold person with eyes above the top, and she has a general relationship with the master, but she has a good relationship with the real person in charge." Master went to find the real person in charge of the sect first, and then went to find her, and then invited Elder Yunni to come over. ”
After Shen Shi heard this, his heart suddenly warmed, but he couldn't imagine that Elder Pu secretly used such a big favor, and he couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to the old man with a goatee.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a movement at the entrance of the main hall, turned around and looked, only to see two people walking in, the first one was Elder Pu with a white beard and goatee, and half a step behind him was a beautiful woman, her face was calm and her temperament was like snow, at first glance there was almost no smoke and fireworks, it was really the beauty of the immortal posture and orchid, it was one of the five elders of the Lingxiao Sect today, and Elder Yun Niyun, who was in charge of the largest hall of Dantang.
Xu Yanzhi and Shen Shi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Yun Ni's face was pale, and she bowed her head slightly and didn't speak, but maybe because she came specifically for Shen Shi today, her gaze stayed on Shen Shi for a few more moments, as if she was looking at him, and then looked away.
Compared with Yunni's coldness, Old Man Pu had a smile on his face, looking much gentler, he walked over and patted Shen Shi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Boy, are you ready, today is the test?"
Shen Shi took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and said, "Disciple understands, he is already ready. ”
Old Man Pu laughed and said, "That's good, Elder Yun is a very busy man, especially since he just accepted a proud disciple yesterday, but he doesn't have much time to spend time with us, this matter will be done as soon as possible, right?"
Yun Ni's face was flat, but when she heard the words of yesterday's disciples, she could still see a trace of warmth on her face, and she seemed to be quite satisfied with last night's result, Shen Shi saw her expression from the side, and felt a little happy for Zhong Qinglu in her heart.
Seeing that Elder Yunni did not object, Old Man Pu grinned, and beckoned everyone to walk outside the main hall, and at the same time said to Shen Shi: "Today is a test for you, and the people in our art hall must be more or less different, so this examination is for you to go to a sea area called 'Coral Island' around the foot of Jinhong Mountain, and go and find three 'jade corals' ......for me."
Before the words fell, when the four of them walked to the gate, another figure suddenly turned out from outside the hall, with a tall and majestic figure, his eyes under his white eyebrows were like lightning, and he had the potential to be powerful without anger, and it was actually Elder Sun Mingyang, who had a high prestige in the Lingxiao Sect.
"Lao Pu, I don't think this school is very good. The voice came with the people, and Elder Sun Mingyang's voice came at the same time, standing at the door of the main hall, and said with a smile, "Coral Island has three layers, how can the topmost jade coral see Lao Pu's vision, in my opinion, at least go to the middle sea area and find a few 'Silver Light Anemone Pearls' to come back?"
As soon as he saw Elder Sun Mingyang suddenly appear, Old Man Pu's brows were furrowed, and after listening to Elder Sun's words, his face immediately became gloomy, he looked at Elder Sun Mingyang coldly, and suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "Old Sun, are you looking for trouble?"
Sun Mingyang smiled, but he didn't seem to take Old Man Pu's face to heart at all, and said with a gentle face: "Old Pu, I'm just going to visit an old friend on Qingyu Island, and when I left, I just thought that the Coral Island you were going to today was on the same road, so I came to take a look." As for the rest, I think when a few of us were discussing the matter that day, Lao Pu, the loudest and loudest thing was actually the word rules, right?"
He smiled and said, "I looked at the same road and thought that I would just go and witness it with you, this is the rule, right? I don't think the difficulty of the jade coral is enough, it is recommended to change to the silver light anemone bead, it is also the rule, right? Is there anything beyond this, Elder Yun?" As he spoke, he turned around and asked Yun Ni.
Yunni stopped, her face was indifferent, but the light in her bright eyes flickered faintly, and she seemed to be a little surprised, but after a while, she first glanced at Old Man Pu, and then her eyes fell on Elder Sun Mingyang's face, and after seeing the eyes in Sun Mingyang's eyes that seemed to have great meaning, she was silent for a moment, and then said lightly:
"Yes, Elder Sun has a point. ”

Liuyun City, in the inn.
Xiao Hei stood up lazily, yawned heavily, and then shook his body vigorously, looking like he hadn't woken up yet, and walked around the room a few times. And on the bed, Ling Chunni hugged the futon lightly, and her soft cheeks gently rubbed against the pillow, feeling that little warmth.
It's a new day.
Do you want to wait alone again?
She was a little stupid and dazed, and seemed to be a little lazy and tired, so she didn't want to get up, so she gently stared at the branch outside the window, looked at the green shoots that grew up slightly, and her heart floated past his figure again.
How many days is this?
While she was thinking about it, suddenly on the ground not far from the bed, Xiao Hei's ears jerked up, as if she felt something, and almost a moment later, there were two knocks on the door of this room.
"Knock, knock......"
Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned over and sat up, with a hint of joy on his face.
Is he back?
