Chapter 141: Turn around

The sky is getting dark, the night is coming quietly, in the sound of the cloud board, the disciples of the Dantang stand solemnly, the people who have failed have retreated to rest, and the people who are guarding here are quietly waiting for the final result, maybe after today, among the disciples of the younger generation of the Lingxiao Sect, there will be an outstanding figure again.

The same thought also circulated in the hearts of the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who were watching outside the Open Fire Hall, but perhaps because it was none of their business, their expressions would be a little more relaxed, but this Dan meeting would actually be compared to this point, as if it was also faintly foreshadowing something, and many people began to be a little worried about the upcoming selection of elite disciples of the sect.

Perhaps, this will be a more intense competition than in previous years?

The bonfire was blazing, the flames were like red fire snakes swaying wildly under the sea breeze, Shen Shi looked up at the sky, and saw that he didn't know when it was already full of stars, and the starlight was shining like pearls, embedded in the black canopy, seeing that this day was almost over.

Just as he was concentrating, Shen Shi suddenly noticed that Sun You beside him touched his arm, he turned his head to look at Sun You, only to see Sun You pouting behind him, signaling him to look back. Shen Shi turned around, and was suddenly stunned, only to see that on the side of the crowd behind him, two women were walking towards the two of them in the night crowd, and by the light of the bonfire in front of him, Shen Shi saw their faces clearly, but it was Zhong Qingzhu and Xu Yanzhi.

The two women had obviously seen Shen Shi and Sun You standing here, Xu Yanzhi from a distance smiled and beckoned, and then walked over side by side with Zhong Qingzhu, Shen Shi greeted him and said with a smile: "Senior sister, why are you here too?"

Xu Yanzhi said with a smile: "Today is the most lively place in the entire Jinhong Mountain, how can we come and take a look, how about it, the Dan Club there has not been compared?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "It's not over yet, it's been a day." When he heard that there were only two people left in the Danhui and Zhong Qinglu was actually one of them, Zhong Qingzhu let out an "ah", looking a little surprised, Xu Yanzhi was also stunned and said directly, "What, that senior sister Zhong Qinglu can actually hold on to this point, can't you see it?"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Yes, we can't even think of it." ”

Sun You followed beside him, and said, "Maybe it's Zhong Qinglu who is in charge!" As he said it, he seemed to think it was funny, he laughed, his eyes turned and he glanced at Zhong Qingzhu.

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to feel Sun You's gaze, his eyes turned, and he also looked at him, and the eyes of the two made contact in mid-air, and then they turned away quietly.

Xu Yanzhi immediately turned his head to Zhong Qingzhu and smiled: "Qingzhu, if that Qinglu Senior Sister can win and successfully worship under Elder Yunni, plus you are now also a disciple of Elder Jintangle, in this way, I think your Zhong family will prosper again." ”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but after Shen Shi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his face changed slightly. Zhong Qingzhu has always been careful, noticed Shen Shi's face, walked to his side, and said softly: "Shi, what's the matter?"

Shen Shi shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Zhong Qingzhu looked at him deeply, let out an "oh", and didn't say anything more. At this time, Xu Yanzhi also walked over and said to Shen Shi, "Senior Brother Shen, you can come to the Five Elements Hall tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Shi's heart jumped suddenly, looked at Xu Yanzhi, and said, "Senior sister, could it be ......"

Xu Yanzhi smiled and didn't answer, only said, "Anyway, you just come over." ”

Shen Shi took a deep breath, thinking that this matter had finally been settled, and nodded heavily at the moment, "Yes, I know." ”

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to have a good idea of this matter, perhaps he had heard the news from Xu Yanzhi before, and said to Shen Shi with a smile at the moment: "Stone, I wish you smooth sailing, everything is smooth." ”

Shen Shi smiled, Sun You didn't react at first, but after listening to a few words of answer from the three of them, and then connecting with the conversation with Shen Shi just now, Deng Shi also reacted, and his heart was also overjoyed, he walked over and grabbed Shen Shi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Stone, if you jump on the dragon gate in the future, don't forget your brother." ”

Shen Shi laughed and wanted to speak, but Zhong Qingzhu next to him smiled faintly and said: "He will definitely not forget, but ah, he is still a carp jumping desperately now, Sun You, you yourself have long been standing on top of the Sun family's dragon gate, and I still want you to take care of him more." ”

Sun You glanced at Zhong Qingzhu with a smile and said, "Senior Sister Qingzhu, I didn't expect you to do your best to maintain the stone." ”

The smile on Zhong Qingzhu's face stiffened slightly, his expression was slightly cold, Shen Shi hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I don't know what tomorrow will be tomorrow, in case something happens, don't earn it." ”

Zhong Qingzhu's expression on his face softened again, and he smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no accidents." ”

※※※

A few people stood here chatting and chatting in a low voice, the sea breeze blew across the viewing platform, the bonfire was bright in front of the light, and under the corridor on the other side of the open fire hall behind the disciples of the Dan Hall, a slender figure walked by, carrying a long sword, with an elegant temperament, standing in the shadow of the main hall, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, and then sighed softly.

"Sister-in-law, why are you sighing?"

From the shadow behind, another man walked out, his figure was dashing and extraordinary, looking at the outline of the eyebrows, he was known as the first genius of the Lingxiao Sect for more than a hundred years on Qingyu Island in the past, and he was also the only heir of the Gan family, the founder of the Lingxiao Sect.

And the woman with a long sword standing in front of him, with a beautiful appearance and a cold temperament, is Gan Wenqing, who has not seen her for many years.

Gan Wenqing smiled and said, "I am lamenting that among the younger generation of disciples under our Lingxiao Sect, there are really endless talents, even if it is someone you didn't pay much attention to in the past, maybe it will make your eyes shine at some point." ”

Gan Ze smiled slightly and said, "This is a good thing." ”

Gan Wenqing glanced at him, with a bit of concern in her tone, and said in a low voice, "How about you come in and practice?"

Gan Ze nodded, and said calmly: "It's okay." ”

Gan Wenqing pondered for a moment and said, "Your realm is now increasingly stable at the Ning Yuan High Level, and you only need to meditate and cultivate in the future, and it should be fine." In terms of Dao Fa supernatural powers, your 'Fire Silkworm Killing' has also been completed, and according to my estimate, it is almost enough to deal with this Four-Righteous Conference. However, ......" she paused for a moment, and then said, "If you want to enter the Wentian Secret Realm after going to the Yuan Shi Gate and make a difference, the kind of secret magic power 'Acacia Cutting Love' that our Gan family has secretly passed down, you had better practice diligently, if you can go to the next level before the Four Righteous Meeting, even if it is only a small success, then the certainty can be greatly increased." ”

Gan Ze thoughtfully, first nodded in agreement, and then approached Gan Wenqing a little, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, is this kind of lovesickness magic power really that powerful?"

Gan Wenqing smiled and said, "This kind of exercise has always been only a direct descendant of the Gan family, and I have only heard of it. However, it is said that this kind of secret method that our Gan family ancestors accidentally obtained, if the cultivation is successful and coupled with the 'Acacia' dagger at home, the power will be extremely powerful, enough to be proud of the world, and it has always been the treasure of our Gan family's town, do you say it is powerful?"

Gan Ze laughed, Gan Wenqing gently touched his young face, and said softly: "Xiao Ze, our Gan family is thin, and the burden of reviving the family business is on your shoulders, and it has hurt you." ”

Gan Ze shook his head slightly, his face was indifferent, and said, "It should be like this." As he spoke, he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore, so he glanced at the Open Fire Hall and said, "I don't know who will have the last laugh later?"

Gan Wenqing smiled slightly and said, "To be able to fight to such a point, I'm afraid that even Shizun herself didn't expect it, these young disciples are really much more powerful than expected." But at the moment, I still can't say, in fact, I also want to know, in the future, will I have one more junior brother, or one more junior sister?"

Gan Ze smiled lightly, the opportunity that countless Ling Xiao Sect disciples longed for to worship under Elder Yunni's seat didn't seem to be very important to him, and even when he looked at the Ling Xiao Sect disciples who were watching outside the Ming Huo Palace, his eyes were faint.

It's just that when his eyes swept over a certain place, he was suddenly stunned, but he stayed on Shen Shi in the corner of the crowd for a few more moments, and let out a low "huh" sound from his mouth.

Gan Wenqing glanced at him and said, "What's wrong?"

Gan Ze was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's nothing, I saw a friend I haven't seen for a long time." ”

※※※

The night is getting darker, the night breeze is getting cooler, and before you know it, a long time has passed, in the Lingxiao Sect, it has always been rare to gather so many disciples so late, but the front of the Ming Huo Hall is bright, and at this time, almost no one leaves halfway, obviously everyone is waiting for the final result that is coming.

Perhaps in a little while, the moment when the winner is announced will be the beginning of the competition for the selection of the Four Righteous Assemblies.

The bonfire was blazing, illuminating the faces of many people, and the sparks drifted into the night sky with the sea breeze, and then turned into nothingness. The voices in the crowd gradually became quieter, and the occasional whispers were heard, only the sound of the night wind blowing from the "woo" became louder and louder, resounding in everyone's hearts.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of the cloud board suddenly rang out, as if it sounded in everyone's ears and hearts, and immediately alarmed all the crowd. Almost at the same time, everyone turned their heads at the same time to look at the gate of the Open Fire Temple.

There was silence, darkness.

I wonder if anyone is holding their breath.

In the darkness, footsteps slowly sounded, heavy and a little painful, and slowly walked out.

It was a young man.

In an instant, a commotion suddenly sounded, like a stormy wave, sweeping through the entire open flame hall inside and outside, countless people were talking to each other, and countless eyes were turning on that person.

The young man, who looked very tired and had disappointment in his eyes, staggered away, and after a while, a pale-faced but beautiful woman came out, and stood softly outside the gate of the open fire hall in the night breeze and under the canopy.

Then, she smiled slightly, like a lily blooming at night, with a thrilling beauty.

In a moment, everyone's eyes turned to her and fell on her, her name was quickly passed through the crowd, everyone knew that from this moment on, this young and beautiful woman's status within the Ling Xiao Sect was no longer what it used to be.

Outside the Open Fire Palace, a group of Dantang disciples walked over one after another, embracing Zhong Qinglu in the middle like the stars and the moon, and the words of excited congratulations came instantly, making Zhong Qinglu a little overwhelmed, but his face also showed joy and excitement.

In the crowd, looking at the beautiful woman on the Open Fire Hall who seemed to have become the focus of everyone, Shen Shi slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as if he had finally let go of some burden, but for no reason, he felt that the tall Open Fire Hall seemed to be a little far away from himself. He smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, turned around lightly and walked off without saying a word.

It was already late at night, and the road ahead was dark, and his figure blended into it little by little.

And at the gate of the Open Fire Palace, in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the joyful and joyful woman inadvertently turned around, crossed the smiling face, crossed the crowd, but suddenly saw the hustle and bustle behind the crowd, the figure who turned away was gradually walking farther and farther.

Her heart suddenly moved, dazed, but in the blink of an eye, the silent figure had finally disappeared into the dark night, and could no longer be seen. In front of her eyes, there was a warm smile again.

She bowed her head slightly, and when she looked up again, she was already smiling with joy again, and she responded politely to the crowd around her.

The night was thick, the evening breeze was bleak, and the day finally passed quietly in the alternation of light and darkness, in the hustle and bustle of the quiet rotation.
