Chapter 158: Centipede Mountain
Wang Yan looked Sun You up and down, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "That's true, Senior Brother Sun, you are a rare guest, come in and talk." Turning sideways as he spoke, Sun You nodded with a smile and walked in.
The two of them sat down in Wang Gan's cave mansion, and it seemed that there were many things in the cave mansion here, and it was also Wang Gan's cultivation in the Lingxiao Sect for many years, and his own strength was also outstanding, and he was valued by all the teachers and elders, so he naturally had some net worth. However, everything in the cave is well organized, and it is obvious that Wang Gan's temperament is also very self-disciplined and organized.
Sun You glanced at all parts of the cave, and when he turned back, he saw that Wang Jian had already found a set of tea sets out of nowhere and made a pot of tea, which was fragrant and refreshing. Sun You is a child of a well-known family, he sniffed it lightly, and immediately smiled: "This tea fragrance is so attractive, isn't it the 'Xiao Mituo' tea in Hezhou in the southeast?"
Wang Gan smiled, poured a cup and put it in front of him, nodded and said, "Senior brother has a good eye, it is Xiao Mida tea." ”
Sun You shook his head with a smile, picked up the teacup and blew it, took a sip, and said: "This little Mida tea is the best in the tea, the fragrance is outstanding, and it is worth a lot of money, even if I haven't drunk it a few times when I was at home, it seems that Senior Brother Wang, you are really worth a lot of money." ”
Wang Gen smiled heartily, waved his hand and said, "It's just that someone gave me a few taels, it's not worth anything, as long as the junior brother likes it." As he spoke, he also took a sip of tea, and then smiled, "Senior Brother Sun You, you suddenly came to me today, is there something wrong?"
Sun You smiled and nodded, and said: "It's not a big deal, firstly, a few days ago, I suddenly thought of five years of cultivation on Qingyu Island, and Senior Brother Domeng took care of it, so I thought of coming over to pay a visit; ”
As he spoke, Sun You smiled and took out a green jade vial from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Wang Gan, and said, "This is a little bit of the little brother's heart, and it is not a courtesy, and I hope that Senior Brother Wang will accept it with a smile." ”
The smile on Wang Gan's face did not change, but his eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled: "Senior Brother Sun, why is this necessary?"
Sun You smiled and said nothing, pointing to the green jade vial.
Wang Yan picked it up casually, rubbed it slightly, uncorked the bottle and glanced inside, and at the same time, a strange light medicinal fragrance suddenly rose around them.
After a while, Wang Yan was suddenly stunned, his face changed slightly, and he closed the bottle back, and at the same time, his brows slowly furrowed, and when he looked at Sun You again, the smile on his face had gradually faded, but he was a little more surprised, and said, "'Xuanyue Dan'?"
Sun You nodded and said with a smile: "It's just a little heart, not respect." ”
Wang Yan was silent, and after a while, he gently pushed the green jade vial back to Sun You, and then looked at Sun You calmly, and said: "Senior Brother Sun, your grandfather is my mentor, and we are also in the same vein, if you have any doubts in cultivation, as a senior brother, I know everything, and I will know everything and say everything, and you will know it one by one, junior brother." As for this ......"
He glanced at the green jade vial, sighed, and said, "Xuanyue Pill has always had the name of 'Little Divine Pill', and it is also known as the first of the three grade spirit pills, and the spiritual effect is superb, and the function of monks below the real person of Yuan Dan is extremely high. I don't dare to accept such a heavy gift. ”
Sun You didn't show any surprise on his face, as if he had expected Wang Gan's refusal, and he didn't take the vial of Xuanyue Dan, but just smiled: "Senior brother, why don't you listen to me after I finish speaking, in fact, I am asking my senior brother to cultivate and doubt, so I just ask about some things casually, I guess it is not painful for senior brother, I implore senior brother to help me for the sake of our friendship for many years?"
Wang Yan pursed his lips, his face was calm, he looked at Sun You, and said after a while: "A few painless questions, can they be worth a Xuanyue Pill?"
Sun You shrugged, looked relaxed, and said with a smile: "It depends on everyone's own opinions." ”
Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you tell me first?"
Sun You smiled slightly, stood up and walked to Wang Gan's side, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Wang Gan sat still, his eyes flickered slightly, but his expression seemed to be gradually solemn.
After a while, Sun You straightened up, walked to the side, gave a deep salute, and said, "Senior Brother Wang, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”
Wang Gan got up and let him go, and at the same time stretched out his hand to help him up, and looked at Sun You, who looked at him calmly.
After a while, Wang Yan suddenly smiled and said, "I often serve my teacher on weekdays, and I do know a little about these things you ask, but ......" He shook his head, but looked at Sun You with a little apology, and said, "Senior Brother Sun, I'm sorry, in fact, I may have guessed that you want to ask about these things, but this matter is quite involved, and it is a dispute between your own people in the Sun family, I am just a disciple with a foreign surname under the teacher's seat, and it is really not good to talk much." But you may be relieved that today's words, because you are out of my ears, I just assume that this has not happened. ”
Sun You took a deep breath, thinking that as the stone expected, Senior Brother Wang Gen knew and didn't say anything, after all, it was still an outsider who could see it clearly, and then let's see if the words and statements guessed by that guy could impress one of the famous "Three Swords of Lingxiao".
He slowly took a step forward, looked at the resolute and majestic man, and said in a gentle tone: "Senior brother's kindness, I understand it, and here I just want to ask Senior Brother one last word." ”
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother, please speak." ”
Sun You smiled and said, "May I ask my brother, my grandfather's disciples, first there is my grandson and my eldest uncle Sun Hong, and then there is my grandson and my eldest brother Sun Heng, the family inheritance is obvious, but I don't know the ambition of my senior brother, is there a day to do it?"
Wang Gan's body was shocked, and he raised his eyes suddenly, and the light in his eyes lit up instantly, like lightning flashing in an instant, and his expression was also cold, looking at Sun You coldly.
On the other hand, Sun You was calm, walked back to the table, slowly sat back down, and then turned his head and looked at Wang Yan with a smile, but he made a look of being ready to chat and talk for a long time.

Flowing Cloud City.
On the second day after returning from the Immortal Society, Shen Shi left the secluded and peaceful hut with the little black pig, preparing to go to Centipede Mountain, where there were many demon beasts and spirit grasses more than two hundred miles outside the city. Ling Chunni looked a little reluctant, but after all, everyone is not a child, nor is it a teenager who only knows how to love each other, the world is so difficult, how can ordinary mortals sit and eat nothing?
So she just silently helped Shen Shi pack his things and clothes, sent them all the way to the door, hugged him gently before Shen Shi opened the door and left, and then didn't say anything.
Shen Shi also had a few thoughts in his heart, unconsciously, this ordinary house courtyard, in such a short period of time, would give him a trace of cordial nostalgia, maybe it was a kind of mood that he had not felt for many years, just like the warm home he once had when he was very young.
So he hugged the woman, smiled softly, and said calmly, "Wait for me to come back." ”
After a pause, he seemed to be a little afraid that she would not be at ease, and said with a smile: "It will only take a few days." ”
Ling Chunni nodded heavily and smiled, "Well, I see." ”
Shen Shi nodded, and then called out, and the little black pig who had been waiting a little impatiently on the side immediately rushed to his side, looking elated, lying under the door and making a commotion, it seemed that it had been suffocating it so hard these days.
Shen Shi smiled, opened the door, and after waving his hand to Ling Chunni, he strode out. Ling Chunni watched the man take Xiao Hei away and gradually move away, leaning against the door, his figure did not move for a long time, as if he was a little stupid.
Shen Shi took Xiao Hei all the way out of the city from the north gate of Liuyun City, and then walked in the northwest direction, and after walking for about two hours, he saw the outline of Centipede Mountain appear in front of him.
According to the record of "Haizhou Geographical Chronicle", the name of Centipede Mountain is not because there are many centipedes in this mountain, but because the mountain shape looks from a distance, the mountain is long and there are many ups and downs, and it resembles a multi-legged centipede, so it is named. There are many demon beasts in this mountain, and it is also rich in all kinds of spiritual grasses, because the earth's veins are full of spiritual energy, so the high-grade spiritual grass is also seen, attracting many monks to come here to sharpen and explore, of course, most of them are scattered cultivators.
Looking at the big mountain in front of him, Shen Shi smiled, but kicked the little black pig next to him on the buttocks, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hei, let's discuss it with you, now I'm a poor bastard with huge debts, you do me a favor, after we enter the mountain, you can exert more strength, kill a few more demon beasts, and find a little more spirit grass, okay?"
Xiao Hei glanced up at Shen Shi.
Shen Shi smiled.
Then Xiao Hei shook his head decisively, flicked his tail, and trotted forward.
Shen Shi choked for a moment, a little annoyed, muttered in his mouth, and said, "Why is this pig getting lazier and lazier!"
Traveling all the way, one person and one pig soon arrived at the foot of Centipede Mountain, Shen Shi first glanced around, only to see that there was no figure around his area, it seemed to be a little different from the rumored scene of a lot of scattered cultivation in the area of Centipede Mountain, but it was of course a good thing that no other monks appeared, and no one grabbed anything, so he nodded in a good mood, and then walked towards the depths of the mountain with Xiao Hei.
Centipede Mountain is undulating, with a radius of thousands of miles, covering a wide area, and it is simply unrealistic to want to sweep it all in a short period of time, so Shen Shi is not in a hurry, so he took Xiao Hei to follow the direction he came from, and slowly moved forward all the way.
And along the way, as rumored, there are indeed a lot of demon beasts here in Centipede Mountain, but in the periphery of the mountain range, the grade of the demon beasts is still low, and most of them are low-level demon beasts of the first and second order. However, the grade of the demon beast is not high, and the value of these spiritual materials is average.
In addition, Xiao Hei still looked lazy, although he was very excited to follow Shen Shi in the wild at first, but if he really wanted to ask him to look for spirit grass like in the past, this pig was like he was full of food, and he couldn't raise his energy at all.
was lazy all the way, and after half a day, he actually only helped Shen Shi find two spirit grasses, which were still the lowest-level first-grade spirit grasses, which made Shen Shi completely speechless.
Seeing that dusk was coming and the sky was gradually darkening, Shen Shi planned to take Xiao Hei to find a place to spend the night, this Centipede Mountain wilderness place, the night is much more dangerous than the day, and Shen Shi, who is experienced in this regard, has already had a way to deal with it, after all, he was also experienced in the past.
It's just that just when he found a dense forest, and took a fancy to a big tree in it, and was about to climb to the tree with Xiao Hei for the night, he suddenly heard a scream from the depths of the forest, and then a man's voice came from that direction with anger, and roared with anger:
"Bastard, you people from the Mountain Bear Hall, do you want to be the enemy of our Xu family?"
