Chapter 245: Picking Treasures

When Zhong Qinglu walked out, her expression looked quite calm, but there was still a trace of joy and smile between her eyebrows and eyes, obviously she was very happy and satisfied with the benefits she had received in the Cloud Palace. At the same time, the eyes of the other four people waiting to receive their rewards fell on her with different expressions.

Zhong Qinglu walked all the way, first nodded to everyone, then looked at Zhong Qingzhu, and said, "Qingzhu, the real person in charge of the sect has summoned you in." ”

Zhong Qingzhu nodded, his face seemed to have a bit of anticipation, and after taking a deep breath, he walked towards the Cloud Palace. And behind her, Zhong Qinglu walked over with a smile, came to Shen Shi, glanced at Gan Ze who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "Hey, when did you two talk like this?"

Shen Shi and Gan Ze glanced at each other, and then they both laughed, Shen Shi said with a smile: "How can I say that I had some friendship on Qingyu Island back then, and I can't say that I will enter the secret realm of Wentian together in the future, I have to talk to Senior Brother Gan well." ”

Gan Ze laughed and said, "Less, your current ranking is still above me." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhong Qinglu and said with a smile: "By the way, Senior Sister Zhong, how are the treasures inside?"

Zhong Qinglu stopped talking, glanced at Kang Chen who was standing next to him, and happened to see that Kang Chen also looked over with a smile, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and said in a low voice: "When I came out, Senior Brother Du Tiejian confessed, it's best not to mention the matter of this treasure reward, at least not before entering the Heavenly Secret Realm." ”

Shen Shi and Gan Ze both nodded, since the division commander had explained it like this, they naturally wouldn't ask any more questions, so a few people chatted here for a while. Unlike when Zhong Qingzhu was here before, Zhong Qinglu seemed to be more comfortable with Shen Shi and Gan Ze, so he kept talking to the two of them, but he didn't talk much with Kang Youling who was standing aside.

Almost half a tea time later, there was movement in the Yunxiao Hall again, but it was Zhong Qingzhu who walked out and walked over to this side, Shen Shi's spirit perked up, and he knew that it would be his turn next. It happened that Kang Chen next to him also smiled and said, "Senior Brother Shen, you can go over." ”

Shen Shi hurriedly agreed, strode forward, and saw Zhong Qingzhu's face calm as usual from a distance, but after seeing Shen Shi on the opposite side, a smile still appeared on her face. The two got closer and closer, and when they were about to pass by, Shen Shi suddenly heard a very soft voice floating from her mouth:

"Sword!"

The voice was so soft that it sounded like she was even muttering something unintentionally, maybe it didn't make any sense at all, maybe it was just a casual hum, and the next moment, the two of them passed by, going in two different directions.

The heavy and tall gate of the Cloud Hall appeared right in front of Shen Shi's eyes, and the impression he remembered from the last time he came here didn't seem to have changed at all.

※※※

Squeak...... The gate slowly retreated, and Shen Shi walked into the main hall, and sure enough, the solemnity and magnanimity inside still had not changed from what he remembered, as if this palace had been like this for many years, and there had never been any change.

In the center of the main hall in the distance, several people sat there, looking at the person on each side, except for the person in charge of the middle of the main sect, Huaiyuan Zhenren, who was actually Elder Yunni and Shen Shi's master, Old Man Pu, which made Shen Shi take aback. In addition, not far in front of him, Du Tiejian was standing there smiling at him, looking like he was deliberately standing here waiting for him.

Shen Shi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted him, Du Tiejian smiled: "Senior Brother Shen doesn't need to be polite, come with me." ”

As he spoke, he took Shen Shi to the three Yuan Dan Realm Great True Beings, Huaiyuan Zhenren looked at him with a gentle expression and a smile, while Elder Yunni on his left hand side had a pale expression, sat upright with his eyes closed, and looked expressionless. As for the white-haired and white-bearded old man on Huaiyuan Zhenren's right hand, he looked at Shen Shi with a smile on his face at this time, grinning happily.

Shen Shi saluted these elders, and finally bowed down in front of the old man Pu Siyi Pu, and said, "Master......"

As soon as he screamed, he felt that his body was light, and he had been held up by the old man Pu, only to hear the old man Pu laugh and say: "Not bad, good job, stone, what to kneel, don't kneel, hahahaha......"

He smiled a little unscrupulously, and he didn't care about the feelings of others when he was happy, Huaiyuan Zhenren smiled, and Elder Yunni, who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating next to him, glared at the old man with some impatience, with a look of disgust on his face.

Huaiyuan Zhenren shook his head with a smile and said, "Shen Shi, your appearance this time is really good, with your cultivation time, it is really rare to be able to do this step, congratulations." ”

Shen Shi lowered his head and said honestly: "It's all the disciples who teach the master well." ”

"Hahahaha......" Old man Pu was proud again, looking really satisfied, he hadn't tasted this kind of limelight for many years. Yun Ni next to him snorted, and there was a touch of arrogance in the depths of his eyes, as if he was thinking that I am not the first place here, and you are embarrassed to be so embarrassed to be so good at the third place in the Shutang.

At the same time, Huaiyuan Zhenren also seemed to be a little unable to stand the joy of his junior brother, and glanced at Du Tiejian, Du Tiejian understood, and hurriedly walked over to call Shen Shi, and then the two walked to a long case next to them. Shen Shi's eyes fell, and he saw five wooden boxes on the wooden tabletop, each of which was opened, but the first wooden box and the fourth wooden box counted from the left were already empty. Of the remaining three wooden boxes, the second is a short sword, the third is a scroll, and the fifth is a jade bottle.

At this time, I saw Du Tiejian walking to the other side of the long case, and said to Shen Shi with a smile:

"Senior Brother Shen, the things on this table are the treasures that the sect is ready to reward you with for the top five, but according to the rules of this sect, the treasures are only placed here, and they can be seen in appearance but cannot be carefully examined. Historically, only the first person had the privilege, but after carefully examining one treasure, he could consider choosing one of the five treasures, which was also to try to be as fair as possible to the latecomers. ”

Speaking of this, Du Tiejian paused for a moment, saw Shen Shi nodding slowly, looked at the three treasures on the table, and said with a smile: "But this year's situation is a little different, Zhong Qinglu Zhong's mountain divine jade obtained by Senior Sister Zhong is really extraordinary, after Elder Yunni mentions, she was finally allowed to carefully inspect the two treasures and choose the same, while the second-place Senior Sister Zhong Qingzhu was postponed, and after carefully inspecting a treasure, she picked the same." It's a pity that when it comes to you, you don't have such a right, now you can see for yourself and choose one of these three treasures. ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there was such a rule in the sect, but since Senior Brother Du said so, he naturally had no objection. It's just that his gaze swept over the three remaining boxes on the table, looking at the short sword, the scroll, and the jade bottle, but his heart hesitated for a while, not knowing what to choose.

Can't look at it carefully, it means that you can only take a cursory look at the appearance, which is really difficult to decide, but fortunately, it seems that the seniors of Ling Xiaozong are not completely unkind, and after he looked at it for a while without making a decision, Du Tiejian smiled and said: "Senior Brother Shen, these remaining treasures are all good, this short sword is a magic weapon, and the scroll is a record of a divine channel technique of this sect, as for the last jade bottle, I think you also know that this sect has always been famous for refining medicine elixir, so there is a bottle of precious elixir." These three treasures are of great benefit to the monks, it depends on how you choose, and I can't say more if there are more, hahahaha......"

In the end, Du Tiejian also laughed out loud, with a hearty expression.

Shen Shi smiled, but he was still a little hesitant, although Du Tiejian introduced a few words, but what is the foundation of these three treasures, he still doesn't know anything, what special effects do the short sword magic weapons have, what kind of magical powers are recorded in the scroll, and what kind of elixir is there in that bottle of elixir? This choice is really difficult to make.

He pondered here, looking a little undecided, while the old man Pu on the other side looked a little anxious, secretly trying to squeeze his eyebrows and make some small movements, but as soon as his body moved, Elder Yunni over there snorted coldly, and glared at him fiercely.

Old man Pu smiled awkwardly, sat up straight, but rolled his eyes, looked a little dissatisfied, and muttered vaguely: "So fierce, no wonder I ...... it at the beginning"

The latter words were no longer audible, no one knew what he was talking about, and Elder Yunni didn't seem to hear clearly, but with her understanding of this person, she expected that what she wanted to say would not be anything good, and Liu raised her eyebrows, and her face was a little unhappy.

When he was facing each other here, Shen Shi naturally didn't notice that his spirit at the moment was focused on those three treasures, and then naturally, he thought of the words that seemed to be imperceptible when Zhong Qingzhu passed by him outside the Cloud Palace:

Sword!

Is this the short sword she said?

But what did Zhong Qingzhu mean, did she mean that there was a short sword in the treasure, or did she say that this short sword looked very good, or even that she had just used the privilege of the only time to inspect it carefully, and what she looked at was this short sword, and found that this short sword was good?

But if this short sword was of great value, why didn't she choose to take it herself?

Tossing and turning, Shen Shi hesitated at the table for a long time, it had been a long time since he had been so hesitant about a matter, but several other people in the hall seemed to have good patience, and no one was born to urge him.

After a long while, in the silence of the hall, Shen Shi's polite shout suddenly sounded, "Senior Brother Du, I have thought about it, just pick this short sword." ”
