Chapter 240: Luck
Chapter 240: Luck
The period of time from entering the Black Crow Ridge Mountain Range to the end of the trial is not short, and it has been staying in the mountainous area where demon beasts are rampant, and hunting and fighting often occurs, so most of the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who have returned from the trial that Shen Shi has seen in the past few days are gray-faced, and the most typical example is Sun You who I saw just now, and this is still good, and more serious injuries are also common. Of course, Shen Shi himself belonged to the latter, and when he came back, he was much more embarrassed than most people, but he and Zhong Qingzhu returned to the camp early, and not many people saw it.
It's just that Zhong Qinglu in front of him seems to be completely different from others, his body is unusually clean, like a water hibiscus, clear and beautiful, without the slightest color of wind and dust, it looks even more beautiful than before he entered the mountain that day, standing there with a smile at the moment, among the other disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who are constantly walking around are a little embarrassed.
She looked at Shen Shi with a smile, and just wanted to speak, but she seemed to quickly notice that there seemed to be constant eyes around her looking at this side, and she stopped talking, so she simply pulled Shen Shi to the side first, and waited until she reached a secluded place far away from the gate that no one else could see, then she looked Shen Shi up and down, and said with a smile:
"Stone, you actually came back earlier than me, how was the harvest this time?"
Shen Shi thought for a while and said, "Well, it should be pretty good." What about you?"
Zhong Qinglu's expression was relaxed, and he gently patted the Ruyi bag on his waist, and said with a smile: "It's average, but I think I should be able to explain it." ”
Shen Shi nodded, what Zhong Qinglu meant by confessing should naturally be something that could be said in front of her master, Dantang Elder Yunni, so it seems that her gain this time must be good. It's just that he looked at Zhong Qinglu's body again as if he was not stained with dust, and couldn't help asking:
"You...... Why are you so clean?"
Zhong Qinglu grinned, revealing a little smugness, which became more and more cute on her soft and beautiful face, and smiled at Shen Shi: "Because I didn't go to fight with the demon beasts in the mountains, naturally my body is clean." ”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Then the spiritual materials you harvested ......?"
The Qianli Mountain Range of Black Crow Ridge is indeed rich in products, but spiritual materials such as spirit ore gems are not rare here, and the most common ones are spirit grass and a large number of demon beasts. And among these two sources of spiritual materials, the spiritual grass has not reached the point where it can be seen anywhere, but it is generally a disciple who has no experience in searching for medicinal herbs, and maybe they will enter Baoshan empty, after all, spiritual grass is often inconspicuous and mostly born in remote corners. In comparison, the astonishing number of demon beasts in the Black Crow Ridge Mountain was basically the biggest source of spiritual materials for the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect in this trial.
Including Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu, they are the same.
It's just that at this time, looking at Zhong Qinglu's meaning, he didn't bother with the demon beast at all, and actually thought that the spiritual material he had harvested was enough to make a difference, which made Shen Shi a little curious after being surprised, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, you can still do this, how can you make a difference without the spirit material of the demon beast, tell me about it?"
Zhong Qinglu seemed to be in a good mood, and stood with Shen Shi, her eyes were gentle, and she didn't seem to have the intention of hiding it, but when she just wanted to speak, she looked around again and saw that there was indeed no one, so she approached Shen Shi, leaned into his ear and whispered:
"Not long after I entered the mountain, I found a treasure. ”
A faint fragrance, leisurely and suddenly, peach cheeks and snow skin, white and red, warm spring breeze blowing, as delicate as blowing bombs, quietly appeared in front of you. Close at hand, it seems that people suddenly feel excited, and at the center of the eyes, that moment is full of gentle colors in this spring breeze, a different style.
Shen Shi's body shook slightly, stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a step back, looking at the smiling and beautiful woman in front of him, he suddenly only felt a little thirsty in his throat, and quickly coughed, secretly took a deep breath, and then regained his calm, thinking of her words just now, he pointed at her with a smile and said, "No, did you actually find some natural treasures, and it was ...... at once." Luck wasn't that good!"
Zhong Qingzhu put his hands behind his back lightly, tilted his head slightly, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Look at what you said, it seems that my luck can't be good! Do you want to know what I found?" As he spoke, the smile in his eyes was like ripples in water, gentle and infinite.
Shen Shi just wanted to blurt out a promise, but suddenly he was stunned again, as if he had thought of something, and then smiled, but he shook his head and smiled at Zhong Qinglu: "Alas, this god is really unfair, I went to the mountains to fight to the death, how many fights with demon beasts have I had, but I can't compare to you wandering around?"
Zhong Qinglu laughed out loud, pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.
Shen Shi waved his hand and said, "Okay, there are a lot of people today, you should go over there and count it first, and let's talk later." ”
Zhong Qinglu shrugged and said, "Okay, then I'll see you later." As he spoke, he turned around and walked two steps over there, then suddenly turned around and said to Shen Shi, "By the way, Shishi, can you use the pills I gave you this time, how effective is the medicine, is it still useful?"
Shen Shi nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I took the Golden Tiger Pill, and the magic is incomparable, and it has helped a lot." ”
Zhong Qinglu laughed, but then his face showed a little concern, that Golden Tiger Pill is a healing elixir, if he is not injured, he will naturally not take it. However, her bright eyes looked at Shen Shi, and saw that although Shen Shi's face was slightly pale, his complexion was generally not bad, and it seemed that there was no major problem, presumably because his injuries had improved a lot after taking the Golden Tiger Pill, so she was relieved, nodded to him, and then turned around.
Shen Shi looked at her back from behind, watched her walk all the way to the counted crowd, was a little distracted, exhaled after a while, smiled, and then turned around and left here.
He gradually walked away, looking ahead thoughtfully, but he didn't notice the distance behind him, and after a while, there was a sudden commotion in the place where the spiritual materials were counted, like a calm lake suddenly rippling, and there were countless people who made surprised and shocked sounds.
※※※
This day was the last day of the Black Crow Ridge trial, from morning to night, there was an endless stream of Lingxiao Sect trial disciples returning from the mountains, until nightfall, when the sky turned dark, there were still people coming out of the mountains, of course, at this time, the number of people became much smaller.
Under the light of the lit bonfire, the originally peaceful camp was much more lively because of the return of many trial disciples, many people gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing with each other, the focus of the chat was of course mostly this encounter in the Black Crow Ridge, and at the same time, there was also a lot of gossip circulating everywhere. For example, who has gained a lot, who is unlucky, who is the most unlucky to encounter a difficult demon beast who was seriously injured on the first day and was forced to withdraw from the trial, and who bravely burst out with a battle power that is usually invisible.
This harsh trial was like piercing a piece of tissue paper that was originally among the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, allowing many people to see themselves clearly and the people around them.
Blood and life and death are always things that cannot be avoided on the path of cultivation and exploration.
Among the few friends Shen Shi knows, there are not many people who like to gossip and listen to the news, to be exact, there is actually only one, and that is naturally Sun You. For a long time, in addition to some news about the road that he overheard from his fellow acquaintances on weekdays, the slightly more secret rumors and rumors and gossip were almost all heard from Sun You's side. Sometimes Shen Shi himself felt that if there was no Sun You, he was afraid that he would be blackened in this sect.
This night, Shen Shi and Sun You secretly climbed to the roof of a room, lying side by side on their backs and looking at the sky overhead. A chilly night wind blew out from the black and oppressive Black Crow Ridge Mountain in the distance, swaying the campfire that was burning in the camp, and the distant firelight illuminated half of the faces of the two of them, as if each had a black and white face.
"Ganze came back from the mountains when it was almost dark. Sun You put his hands under his head, answered Shen Shi's question, and said with a smile, "Because he came back too late, I don't know the situation over there, but with his reputation and ability, he must be among the best." ”
"Hmm. Shen Shi doesn't have too many objections to this, Gan Ze has been the undisputed leader of the younger generation over the years, whether it is Taoism, realm, family background, character, appearance or even some ethereal luck, it is said that no one can match, it seems that God was born to favor this person, and all the good things fell on him, and he was born to get ahead, better than other mortals.
Is there really fairness between people?
Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders, smiled and didn't bother to think about this inexplicable and destined unanswered question, he was concerned about another matter, and asked Sun You: "According to what you said, do you have a good idea of the situation over there to take stock of the spiritual materials now?"
Sun You shook his head and said, "Then how can it really be completely clear, at most, I just know some general information from one or two senior brothers who know each other, and most of them are vague." Besides, those Divine Realm Senior Brothers who were present at the inventory were also in charge of each of them, and if you really want to say that you know the whole situation, it is estimated that only those few Yuan Dan Realm elders are there. ”
Shen Shi nodded slowly, and suddenly his heart moved, thinking to himself, the elder of the Yuan Dan Realm, who is presided over here, is it not your own grandfather?
Just as he was thinking about whether to let this guy go to investigate again, Shen Shi suddenly saw Sun You turn around, with a little cunning, he smiled, and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, I heard something before I came." ”
Seeing that his expression was quite subtle and abnormal, Shen Shi was also curious, and asked, "What?"
Sun You smiled, but he glanced him up and down, and then said in a low voice: "It is said that if you don't count the harvest of the disciples who returned today, you guy will be at the top." Honestly, what kind of treasure did you get back from this trip to Black Crow Ridge?"
