Chapter 41: Intercession
After Shen Shi left Hongbang Village, he found a secluded forest on the way back to the herring fish set, saw that there was no one left and right, and got in, spreading out his clothes and hanging them on the treetops in the forest. Although the island was wet, the sea breeze never stopped, even at the edge of the forest, and after a while, it dried out quickly.
Shen Shi shook these clothes a few times, put them back on his body again, and felt suddenly relaxed, although he had been slaughtering shrimp and peeling shrimp in Red Mussel Village for a day, and there was a scene where he almost drowned in the sea, he was still a little tired, but his spirit was good.
Walking out of the forest, striding back, this road leading from Qingyuji to Hongbang Village, because there are no other forks, so after the teenagers who went to Hongbang Village walked away, the road was suddenly deserted, and when the sun was about to set, only Shen Shi was left.
It was lively when he came, and lonely when he returned, and the scene before and after was really quite different, but it seemed that Shen Shi looked unimpressed, and walked briskly on the road. When I walked back to the herring fish set, I saw that the sun in the western sky seemed to be closer to the distant horizon, reflecting a brilliant sunset, and at the same time reflecting on the vast sea, dyeing a large area of the sea red.
At this time, the Qingyu Gathering is no longer lively in the daytime, many disciples of the Lingxiao Sect seem to have returned to their cave mansions, and even the somewhat obstructive shops on both sides of the road are closed for the most part, it seems that on this Qingyu Island, everyone has become accustomed to resting early, which is completely different from the appearance of those prosperous cities in the world that are still brightly lit even after dark.
Shen Shi originally wanted to find two shops to go in and have a look, but then he thought that the days would be long in the future, so he was not in a hurry, seeing that the herring was concentrated in a cold place, he didn't stay long, and walked back directly, walking towards his Linhai Cave Mansion in Baiyu Bay.
When he stepped out of the cold herring fish set, he was thinking in his mind, did Sun You, He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang find any suitable tasks after leaving Hongbang Village?

When Shen Shi walked all the way back to the quiet and beautiful Baiyu Bay along the flat and wide seaside avenue, the sky was gradually darkening, the sky became dark, and a trace of the residual sun was shining in this bay, and the waves of the calm sea were gently surging, and waves were like the gentle hands of lovers, caressing the white sand.
It was already dusk, but to Shen Shi's surprise, he thought that this place should also be a quiet and lonely place, but now it seems to be a lot more lively than the herring fish set, and many of the new disciples who live in this bay have come out of the cave and played and walked around on this long and beautiful beach, and the afterglow of the remnant sun fell, sprinkled on every young man and woman, shining their happy smiles.
After all, the people who came here were still teenagers in their early teens.
Running on the beach, or jumping in the sea, splashing countless white waves, splashing a few clothes and skirts, laughter wafting in the sea breeze, adding a little extra vitality to this dusk.
For a while, Shen Shi didn't want to go back to the cave immediately, but walked to the edge of the beach, found a random stone to sit down, stared at this lively beach, and quietly looked at the sunset that was about to set in the depths of the sea in the distance.
The sea breeze gusted, blowing his hair, as if the tiredness of the day was dissipated in the fresh wind at this moment.
Footsteps suddenly remembered that two figures had walked past him, and one of them suddenly turned his head and glanced at him. Shen Shi raised his eyes and saw that it was Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu sisters, Zhong Qinglu walked in front of him, holding a small bag in his hand, and took out some snacks from it from time to time to eat, his slightly chubby cheeks were a little red, which looked more pleasing to the eye than during the day, as for Zhong Qingzhu, he still looked cautious, carefully following behind this cousin.
Zhong Qinglu obviously recognized Shen Shi, and her eyes were not too friendly, but after all, it was Sun You's guy who offended her the most during the day, and Shen Shi was just innocent, so it seemed that Miss Zhong didn't seem to have any special plans to target Shen Shi, she just glared at him fiercely, and then shook her head like a proud little peacock and left directly. Zhong Qingzhu smiled at Shen Shi slightly apologetically behind her back, and hurriedly followed.
Shen Shi rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When the last rays of sunset finally dissipated as the sun sank into the sea, it was finally nightfall in Baiyu Bay, and many teenagers left the beach one after another and returned to their caves, and soon, the beach was quiet again, leaving only the sound of the waves surging in the dark, and under the blowing of the sea breeze at night, it seemed to be endlessly recalled.
Shen Shi also returned to his "A Forty-One" Cave Mansion, and after opening the stone door with the cloud charm and entering, he thought it would be a dark Cave Mansion, but after he closed the stone door, four rays of light suddenly lit up from the stone wall at the top of the Cave Mansion, which was as gentle as the night starlight, sprinkled in this Cave Mansion, and suddenly made this place bright.
This time it made Shen Shi startled, when he rested here last night, there was no such abnormality, and when he walked into the cave and looked up at the top of his head, there were just four more fist-sized pearls on the solid stone wall, and those rays of light were emitted from these beads. And on the stone wall in the middle of the four beads, there is also a palm-sized gossip jade plate, with the brilliance of the pearl, you can also see the faint clouds turning above.
Shen Shi suddenly thought of the gossip lock on the stone door when he entered the door, and after a little groaning, he took out the cloud talisman on his body, and tried to wave it at the gossip jade plate on the stone wall above his head, and sure enough, after a while, he saw the clouds turning, and the gossip jade plate reacted, and the four pearls immediately slowly dimmed, and the cave fell into darkness.
After a while, Shen Shi waved his hand again, and the pearl light lit up again.
Is this a magical cave thaumaturgy that only opened today, Shen Shi looked up at this magical pearl and admired it in his heart. With such four pearls, it is really much more convenient, at least there is no need to light a candle to read at night.
Merely...... Shen Shi slowly sat down at the table, his joy receded slightly, but his brows furrowed slightly, why didn't this prohibition be released yesterday, but it was a day late?

Herring Fish Collection, Xuan Ri Hall.
Wang Qian sat cross-legged on the futon, looking at Kang Chen, who was also sitting not far from him, his face was not good, and his face sank like water. And Kang Chen looked like a thief, he didn't dare to speak with a dry smile, and his gaze at Wang Gen was also evasive, unwilling to look directly.
"Hmph......" Wang Gen snorted coldly, no longer staring at Kang Chen's handsome and handsome face, and went to pour tea on the coffee table next to him, Kang Chen jumped up all of a sudden, rushed to the side of the coffee table in a few steps, poured a glass of water with a dog's leg, and then handed it to Wang Gan, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, drink tea and drink tea." ”
Wang Gen pursed his lips, took it with an angry face, took a sip, sneered again, and said, "Anyway, what's going on with so many 'Star Light Beads' in so many caves in Baiyu Bay?"
Kang Chen laughed dryly and said, "Senior brother, I, I'm not a lot of things, I forgot to open the ban......
"Phew!" Wang Yan looked like he didn't believe it at all, glanced at him, and said, "You have a lot of nobles, and it's true that there are many ghosts in your heart!"
Kang Chen rubbed his hands, and secretly raised his eyes to glance at Wang Gan, seeing that he had a cold face, with his original tall and heavy momentum, it can be said that he was not angry but mighty, Kang Chen was afraid of this Senior Brother Wang a little on weekdays, but now he knew that he would not be able to hide, hesitated for a moment, and finally explained honestly, and said: "I went to find Senior Sister Gan, and begged her to go with Uncle Yunni to come forward and help Senior Brother Du intercede, so I delayed the matter on Qingyu Island." ”
Wang Gan's eyes lowered, looking at the teacup in his hand, and the hand holding the cup tightened lightly innorantly.
After a moment, he frowned and said, "It's just you. ”
Kang Chen smiled and said, "Senior brother, I'm not worried that Senior Brother Du will be locked up in the 'Black Cloud Cave', the time will be too long, and the yin qi will invade the body, and it will not be good if the Dao is broken." ”
Wang Yan snorted and said, "As far as you are a kind-hearted person, others are like me, all ruthless and unrighteous people who ignore Senior Brother Du?"
Kang Chen immediately shook his head like a drum and said, "Senior brother, what do you say, I have no intention of doing so!"
Wang Yan sneered and said lightly: "Since you care about Senior Brother Du so much, then what happened to go to Uncle Yunni today?"
Kang Chen froze for a moment, and when his eyes rolled as if he was about to sort out his words, he heard Wang Gen say straightforwardly: "If I guessed correctly, did Uncle Yunni simply not want to see you, and drove you back directly outside the 'Tianmi Cave Mansion'?"
Kang Chen was stunned for a moment, looked up at Wang Gan, although he didn't say anything more, but the surprised expression on his face obviously said everything. Wang Gen shook his head, looking too lazy to talk to a stupid person anymore, Kang Chen suddenly jumped up, suddenly came behind Wang Gen, put his hands out and actually helped Wang Gen start to knead his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, senior brother, your clever calculation is really amazing, everything is like seeing it in person, it's better to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yan was already busy waving his hands and knocking his hands away, and said angrily: "It's all men, don't be so disgusting." ”
Kang Chen laughed, disappreliant, and only said, "Senior brother, how do you know that Senior Uncle Yunni is unwilling to help?"
Wang Gen glanced at him and said, "Senior Uncle Yunni's status in this sect is indeed unique, several elders, including the real person who is in charge of the sect Huaiyuan, will give her three points, but don't forget, in addition to offending Elder Sun this time, the most important thing is that he scolded a few words of Senior Uncle Ancestor. ”
Kang Chen's body was shocked, he looked at Wang Gan, frowned, and said, "Senior brother, do you mean that even Senior Uncle Yunni doesn't want to cause trouble this time?"
Wang Gen said lightly: "What is the status of the senior uncle ancestor in the sect, you and I both know it in our hearts, as the only ancestor of the sect who has broken through the Great Death Pass of the Yuan Dan Realm and arrived at the Tiangang Realm for hundreds of years, plus thirty years ago, in the 'Xuangui Rebellion', he came forward to turn the tide, subdued the demons, and tried his best to override public opinion, and ...... to the real person in charge of the sect" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, did not continue to speak, but took a deep look at Kang Chen, Kang Chen's face also changed slightly, and nodded slowly.
After a while, I only heard Wang Gan's voice sound again, and said: "Now although Senior Uncle Ancestor is in retreat and does not ask about all matters in the door, his prestige is so high, he does not think about it as a second person, even if it is a person like Senior Uncle Yunni, he is absolutely unwilling to meddle in matters related to this old ancestor, not to mention that Senior Brother Du inexplicably scolded Senior Uncle Ancestor a few words? Senior Brother Du is deeply loved by the real person in charge of the sect on weekdays, and is his most proud disciple, why did he have such a heavy attack this time, haven't you thought about the reason?"
Kang Chen's face was pale, and after a while, he hung his head and said, "So, Senior Brother Du is hopeless?"
Wang Yan slowly picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, with no expression on his face, but after a while, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to sigh softly and said, "Method...... Actually, there are still some of them. ”
Kang Chen jumped up, the look of joy on his face was revealed, Wang Gen glared at him, Kang Chen immediately shrank his head, but the eagerness of expectation in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Wang Yan shook his head, his eyes swept over the teacup in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he gently placed it on the coffee table.
Under the slight light, the warm porcelain edge of the teacup base is faintly visible, and a thin gap is quietly cracked.
