Chapter 257: Scruples

Zhong Qingzhu just wanted to speak, but suddenly she only heard a commotion from the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect not far away, she and Shen Shi turned around at the same time, and saw that under the sunset, a big ship was riding the wind and waves, and it was the Ling Xiao Sect's sea-crossing immortal boat.

After a while, the giant ship arrived at the seashore and stopped, all the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect boarded the boat in turn, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu stood at the end of the crowd, and heard the groups of Lingxiao Sect disciples in front of them talking to each other, and most of what they said was about the Four Righteous Assembly and the Secret Realm of Asking Heaven. Obviously, among these disciples, a lot of people are also elite disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who are about to participate in the Four Righteous Conference, although they can't say that they have any friendship, but Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu both saw a few familiar faces in the crowd, and they also met on the Black Crow Ridge in the Hundred Mountains Realm a few days ago.

As for the two of them, they were a blockbuster in this trial, and their rankings were high, and they were known by more people overnight, so many people in the crowd took the initiative to greet them from afar or gesture their heads, showing their friendliness, and Shen Shi also smiled and agreed.

Finally, when the big ship set sail again, turned to the depths of the sea and sailed to the golden rainbow fairy mountain in the sea, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu stood on the side of the deck, facing the sea breeze, watching the snow-white waves splash and rise under the boat, talking casually.

Shen Shi sighed a little and said, "Presumably they have to do everything they have for this trip to the Secret Realm of Asking Heavens." ”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, "That's nature, who isn't? This opportunity is only once in a lifetime." As she spoke, she looked at him with bright eyes and said, "When you went to Liuyun City this time, did you have all the things you want to prepare?"

Shen Shi patted his waist and said, "It's almost, now that everything is ready, I'm just waiting to ask the Heavenly Secret Realm!" said and smiled, his expression revealing a bit of anticipation and yearning. In contrast, Zhong Qingzhu's expression seemed to be much calmer than him, but he also seemed to be a little infected by Shen Shi's affection, and a smile appeared on his face.

"After arriving at the secret realm, are you sure?" Zhong Qingzhu looked at Shen Shi's smile, as if he had thought of something, and asked.

Shen Shi thought of the wooden box given to him by Master Pu in the Five Elements Hall on Jinhong Mountain that day, and thought about the no less than two thousand talismans in it, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, and said with a smile: "A little bit, anyway, everything I should have prepared is ready, and the rest depends on luck." ”

Zhong Qingzhu's heart moved, and the few words that originally came to his lips, looking at Shen Shi's confident expression, for some reason, he stopped talking.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......

Everyone is doing their best, desperately for the future, at this time, where can there be the slightest distraction?

With a hint of salty sea breeze blowing across the sea, blowing a few strands of hair on her sideburns, she looked at Shen Shi quietly, and then turned her head silently to look at the boundless sea.

Shen Shi seemed to notice that Zhong Qingzhu was a little strange, looked at her strangely, and asked with a smile: "By the way, what did you do in Liuyun City before, did you also go to prepare all kinds of spiritual materials for the trip to the secret realm?"

Zhong Qingzhu didn't turn her head to look at him, her eyes were still looking into the distance, and the spectacular sunset under the sunset seemed to be reflected in her eyes, like a blazing brilliant flame.

She paused for a moment, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I went to see my mother first, and then walked around Nanbaofang, added some spiritual materials, and then came back." ”

When the setting sun was sinking into the distant sea level, the sea-crossing immortal boat arrived at the foot of Jinhong Mountain, and the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect on the boat got off the boat in turn, and walked down the stone steps of the mountain road to the mountain.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu walked side by side behind, but perhaps because it was getting dark at the moment, Zhong Qingzhu's footsteps became a little hurried, and she quickly walked in front of Shen Shi, and after a while, she turned around and smiled at Shen Shi, and said gently:

"Stone, then I'll go back to the cave first, this time the Sizheng Conference was suddenly advanced, the time is too tight, and there are still a lot of things to prepare. ”

Of course, Shen Shi understood that this was the truth, because he himself was the same, and smiled at the moment: "Okay, then you go first, see you later." ”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, "Before I leave the mountain, maybe I will stay in the cave and not come out, and I will see you when the time comes." After a pause, she glanced at Shen Shi deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "This time is a matter of importance, it is related to our lifelong cultivation luck, plus I heard that there are many unpredictable dangers in the secret realm, you must also prepare carefully in the cave mansion, so as to be safe, don't be distracted by other things." ”

Shen Shi nodded with a smile and said, "I know." ”

Zhong Qingzhu bowed his head slightly, then said no more, turned around and stepped on the stone steps, and went on his own. In the night, her figure flickered, swaying and walking in the dark light and shadow, and soon disappeared into the darkness far away from the mountain road.

※※※

Shen Shi walked all the way back to his cave, put down the Ruyi bag on his body, took out all the spiritual materials that should have been added, and began to pack up. In the middle of the way, he walked past the empty storage room next to the bedroom, and saw the lone Ruyi bag on the stone shelf.

In the last transaction with Hou Sheng, he got a lot of spirit grass, part of which was given to Zhong Qinglu to refine the elixir, and while enhancing Zhong Qinglu's alchemy path, the spirit pill he refined also helped him a lot during his trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm.

This time, his gaze lingered on the remaining Ruyi bag for a while, and after pondering for a moment, he walked in, picked up the Ruyi bag, and placed it on the stone table outside the living room of the cave.

In the bright light, his figure kept moving back and forth, and did not sleep until the dead of night.

A night passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, Shen Shi woke up almost habitually. I turned my head to look and found that in the corner at the end of the bed, the little black pig was curled up there and sleeping, and there were a few snoring sounds from time to time, looking very sweet.

Shen Shi smiled, didn't bother it, stood up and stretched, and walked to the hall outside the cave mansion. There were too many things to clean up last night, so they hadn't been cleaned up yet, and there were a lot of spiritual materials on the table on the ground, including a few ruyi bags that were also placed over there.

Shen Shi walked to the table, took the pen and paper, and began his daily homework.

In the quiet cave mansion, time passed imperceptibly, and an hour passed in a blink of an eye, Shen Shi put down the talisman pen in his hand, looked at the talisman on the table with satisfaction, and stood up and was about to continue to clean up, when he suddenly heard a few low knocks on the stone door of the cave.

Who will come here so early?

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, walked over and opened the stone gate, only to hear the rumbling sound, after the stone gate retreated to the side, he revealed a figure standing outside the stone gate, smiling, it was Sun You.

"Ha, I'm guessing you're up a long time ago. Sun You smiled, walked in, swept his eyes, looked at the spiritual materials and other things that could be seen everywhere on the table and on the ground over there, and immediately laughed, turned back to Shen Shi and smiled, "I started cleaning up so early." ”

Shen Shi nodded with a smile and said, "There is not much time, after cleaning up earlier, I have to hurry up and refine the magic weapon and cultivate the Dao technique or something." ”

Sun You laughed and nodded again and again, looking very much in agreement, but then his eyes saw three or four wishful bags placed on the side of the table, and he was immediately stunned, and said in surprise: "Why are there so many wishful bags, what are you ......doing" He rolled his eyes, as if he thought of something at this moment, suddenly smiled, and said, "I know, have you heard the legend of the Spirit Crystal Mountain Range?"

Shen Shi smiled: "Yes, Senior Sister Xu told me, and told me to bring a few more Ruyi bags, I thought about it for a while, it is indeed not troublesome to bring a few more Ruyi bags, and when I get to the secret realm, maybe it will really come in handy, so I bought a few more." ”

Sun You clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What you said is so reasonable, it seems that I have to prepare a few more when I go back." ”

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Be prepared." ”

Sun You smiled and nodded, but after laughing, his eyes seemed to flicker, and his expression suddenly looked a little gloomy from the previous joy. Shen Shi quickly sensed Sun You's change, and was a little surprised, and said strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

Sun You hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I came here for another matter, and I want to talk to you." ”

Shen Shi couldn't help frowning when he saw that his expression was not very good, and said, "What's wrong?"

Sun You took a deep breath and said, "This time I am on the list of entering the Secret Realm of Wentian, and my eldest brother Sun Heng is also among them. ”

Shen Shi was stunned, stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What?"

On the day of the release of the list on the viewing platform that day, Shen Shi was of course most concerned about the ranking of himself and a few familiar friends, especially when the Zhong family sisters and himself entered the top five, he put all his attention on it and the selection of treasures later, and almost didn't pay attention to the people behind him.

In his heart, he originally thought that Sun Heng should not have a chance to enter the Wentian Secret Realm, because when he was in the Black Crow Ridge of the Hundred Mountains Realm that day, when he saw Sun Heng return to the camp, he was not lightly injured and was directly sent to heal, and he did not appear in the place where the harvest was counted, and he thought that he should have failed the trial that time.

Unexpectedly, this time he was able to get the qualification to participate in the Wentian Secret Realm, maybe he went to the inventory office afterwards, and handed in a lot of harvest spiritual materials.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Sun You, and said, "What do you think?"

Sun You was silent, and only after a while did he smile bitterly and said, "I thought that the blow of that day, my eldest brother should be in a slump and would not fight with me again." I didn't expect him to have such perseverance, and he survived, if he got any more opportunities in the Secret Realm of Asking Heavens this time, I am afraid that my current position may not be really completely reliable. ”

Shen Shi shook his head lightly, he also felt that it was a little tricky, but after thinking about it, there was no good way to do this situation for a while, so he had to persuade Sun You: "Since we have reached this point, we can only watch while walking, and everyone has entered the Heavenly Secret Realm, maybe your fate is deeper and greater than his? ”

Sun You nodded silently, but he was still a little worried when he looked at the past, and obviously still didn't let go, but his expression was still a little cheerful. After talking to Shen Shi here for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

Shen Shi wanted to persuade him a few words, but he didn't know what to say, this kind of internal strife and secret fighting in the family was already treacherous, and he didn't dare to say anything lightly, so he sent Sun You out of the cave all the way.

It's just that when the stone gate opened again, and Sun You just stepped out of the cave, he suddenly heard someone outside "Huh", Shen Shi and Sun You raised their eyes at the same time, and saw Zhong Qinglu's slender and beautiful figure walking briskly from the mountain road, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

(Yesterday I had some cold symptoms and a heavy cough, but it was okay.) At night, I accompanied Xue MM out to watch a movie Women's Federation 2, and before entering the cinema, I passed by a legendary "cat poop coffee", so I went in and got a petty bourgeoisie...... Then I went home and I was not good, I couldn't sleep at all for a whole night, I had insomnia all night, was I sensitive to coffee or was I having a nervous breakdown? I got up at six o'clock in the morning and wrote a chapter, and I felt like I was going to die...... ）
