Chapter 199: After Dusk
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at Old Man Pu, and didn't know what to say for a while, Old Man Pu was a little embarrassed by him, shook his head, and then smiled, waved his hand and said:
"Okay, okay, anyway, after being a saint, plus the Yuan Shimen side is also different from our Lingxiao Sect, so ...... It still seems to be a bit of a hassle. ”
Shen Shi was speechless, thinking that your face had changed too quickly, but suddenly I saw that Old Man Pu seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly sank, he looked at Shen Shi, and said, "Hey, stinky boy, should you beat down the group of wastes of the Song family, and then arrogantly report yourself to the master, saying that it is a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect Art Hall, right?"
Shen Shi walked up to the old man Pu and whispered a few words, the old man's face was originally a little dignified, but suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became a little exciting, and after a while, he looked at Shen Shi with a smile on the corner of his mouth, pointed at him and smiled:
"You stinky boy, actually, actually ......" Halfway through speaking, he suddenly turned straight and said, "You guy, why are you so bad! ”
Shen Shi coughed and said, "One is that Nangong Ying bullied the disciple in the past and said it by the way, and the other is that although he had to resist at that time, the disciple was also afraid of causing any trouble to your old man, Master." ”
Old man Pu looked at him for a long time, suddenly smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, the stinky boy is very clever, not a wooden fish head." You told me that this matter is right, although the Song family has some power, but the old man can still hold it, you don't care about this matter, I will deal with it. ”
Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with a look of respectful gratitude on his face, and lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Master, but I may have caused you trouble again, and the disciple is panicked." ”
"Phew!" Old man Pu snorted and sneered, "You've been bullied like that, if you are still as obedient as a dead fish and wood, I will be the first to drive you out of the wall, old man." Okay, okay, this matter is over, in a few days you will go to the Baishan Realm, you should also go and prepare well. ”
Shen Shi nodded and agreed, and after giving a salute, he turned around respectfully and left.
Old man Pu stood in place, watching his apprentice gradually move away, until the figure disappeared, he groaned for a moment, and then took a big sip of the jar of bamboo leaf green wine, and then suddenly grinned, but he was extremely happy, and he didn't see how he moved, and suddenly the whole person fell onto the comfortable recliner, haha, and said with a smile:
"The same realm is even one or two small level higher than his own opponents, one fight three actually wins, hahahaha, good boy, good boy!"
He was smiling happily here, and he seemed to be in a very good mood, but after a while, suddenly another voice came from somewhere next to him, calm and vigorous, but he snorted coldly and said, "You can see it, if the Song family really finds out that he did it, if they have the heart to investigate, it will be a little troublesome." ”
As the voice came, a tall figure turned out from behind a big tree next to him, and it was actually the current leader of the Ling Xiao Sect, Huaiyuan.
Old man Pu seems to have a very good relationship with his brother in charge on weekdays, but there is no one around at the moment, he doesn't even bother to get up on the recliner, the smile on his face is not reduced, he only mentions the altar of bamboo leaf green wine, and smiles at Huaiyuan Zhenren:
"This wine is really good, take a sip?"
Huaiyuan Zhenren obviously didn't like the contents of this cup, shook his head, Old Man Pu was not reluctant, he took another big sip of his own thoughts, and then smiled: "You also heard the cause and effect just now, and what kind of virtue are the children of the family after the saints of the Yuan Shimen over the years, I don't believe that you haven't heard of it?" Anyway, I believe the words of my apprentice. ”
Huaiyuan Zhenren was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "The children of those three families are not all bullying and good-natured children, and there are still a few outstanding talents. ”
Old man Pu laughed, glanced at Huaiyuan Zhenren and did not speak. Since Huaiyuan Zhenren said this, it sounded like he was excusing the three families, but in fact, it was equivalent to admitting it in disguise and believing Shen Shi's words.
Walking with a negative hand, the robe flickered, and the temperament of the hope is like a dusty immortal, and the old man Pu who is drunk and greedy next to him is vastly different Huaiyuan Zhenren walked back and forth a few steps, his expression was calm, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be thinking about something. Old man Pu looked at him, hesitated, his white eyebrows furrowed slightly, and suddenly said:
"Uh...... The Four-Righteous Conference is coming, if it is true that you have some inconvenience here, or just push it on me, I will take it, and it is a big deal that I, the great elder of Laoshzi, will step down first, so as not to make it difficult for you. Saying that, he paused for a moment, and then his face turned straight, and he said to Huaiyuan Zhenren,
"But I want to make it clear to you, I like this apprentice very much, I'm getting old and I'm finally such a satisfactory apprentice, and I don't think he did anything wrong in this matter, don't think about bullying my apprentice for outsiders!"
Huaiyuan Zhenren frowned, glanced at Old Man Pu, and saw that Old Man Pu's face was serious at the moment, and he looked like he was not joking and wanted to take it seriously, so he couldn't help but snort, and said angrily:
"As far as you talk a lot of nonsense, when did I say that I was going to punish Shen Shi?"
Old man Pu laughed, his face immediately relaxed, he lay back down, and said with a smile: "Aren't I a little worried that you, the head of the family, will take care of the overall situation? ”
Huaiyuan Zhenren said: "The overall situation naturally depends on it, after all, the conference is coming, and they are all famous families for ten thousand years." But I'm also the head of a sect, the four righteous sects, if I really want to talk about it, if the Yuan family headed by the Yuan Feng Tang comes forward, I will also be a little afraid of him for three points, as for the Song family, which has not produced a top talent for at least a thousand years, and no one has been the head of the Yuan Shi Sect......
He smiled faintly, a little proud on his face, and the unique and mysterious light that rose and fell like stars in his eyes flickered dimly, as if it brought out a little bit of the meaning of looking at the world, and said with a smile,
"How old is his Song family?"
※※※
Shen Shi left the Five Elements Hall, his mood was much lighter, he felt that even his walking steps were a little brisker, and he thought about this from beginning to end in his heart, and finally shrugged his shoulders, but he said with a smile to Xiao Hei who was following him, and said
"Xiao Hei, you said that in the end, it seems that it is more comfortable to have a backer, right?"
Xiao Hei screamed a few times, lowered his head and sniffed on the ground, looking at ease, as if he casually perfunctory Shen Shi.
Shen Shi was in a good mood, he didn't care, he smiled, and walked forward, after a while, they returned to the viewing platform, looking at the seven huge pillars towering, Shen Shi pondered for a while, but turned around and walked towards the popular elixir hall at the edge of the viewing platform.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm, today it seems that there are more disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect coming and going here in the Elixir Hall than usual, and Shen Shi can roughly guess the reason. The selection of elite disciples in the Hundred Mountains Realm is the first step to participate in the Four Righteous Conference and then enter the Secret Realm of Wentian, whether or not they can change their fate and ascend to heaven in one step is likely to be the most critical moment in many people's lives.
In this process, one's own Taoist practice is undoubtedly the most important, but at this critical time, all kinds of elixirs are definitely also indispensable and powerful help.
Walking into the elixir hall, Shen Shiden saw a scene of hot trading, a large number of Lingxiao Sect disciples gathered in front of the counter, and a large number of spirit crystals were taken out of their wishful bags as if they didn't need money, and then exchanged for bottles of spiritual materials and elixirs.
Originally, the elixirs that were abundant on those tall shelves, especially some of the most effective and practical elixirs that were recognized as the most effective, even if they were expensive, were all sold out at the moment, some of them had simply been sold out, and the remaining elixirs with little inventory were also being bought and divided by people with many spirit crystals at an extremely fast speed.
In the entire elixir hall, there was a fiery atmosphere, which made people unconsciously a little nervous, as if the trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm was already close at hand.
Shen Shi took a deep breath, looked around, looked at the crowded counters for a while, and after muttering for a while, he still didn't squeeze through, in fact, with what he saw, Shen Shi felt that even if he finally squeezed in, but when it was his turn to buy the elixir, he was afraid that there would not be many good things left.
His eyes turned and swept around the elixir hall, as if he was looking for something, but at this moment the hall was crowded, and it seemed that it was difficult to find the target for a while, but after looking at it for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, but he saw a slender and beautiful figure on the shelf somewhere behind the counter, and a little smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he strode over.
"Qinglu. ”
He stood outside the counter and shouted from afar, and at the same time waved his hand vigorously to show his own existence, in the elixir hall full of people, his shout did not seem so abrupt, and there were more voices that overpowered him, but under the shelf, the woman seemed to hear something, and after being slightly stunned, she turned her head and saw that her bright eyes were clear and her complexion was beautiful, it was Zhong Qinglu.
She turned her head to look at the place where the cry came from, and saw Shen Shi standing there with a smile outside the counter waving her hand, first stunned, and then suddenly there was a little imperceptible joy in her eyes, put down the pill in her hand, and walked over, and at the same time motioned for Shen Shi to walk to the other end of the counter away from the place where the business was held, where there were fewer people and quieter.
After a counter, Shen Shi glanced at her, only to feel that she hadn't seen her for a while, Zhong Qinglu seemed to be more beautiful than she remembered, but if she really wanted him to say it, she didn't know where it was beautiful, so she had to smile and nodded.
Zhong Qinglu was much more direct to him, his eyes were full of eyes, looking at no one on the left and right, but he smiled and said, "Why do you keep looking at me, is this a flower on my face?"
Shen Shi laughed, shook his head and said, "No, no, even if it is a flower, it is a much better flower than others." ”
Zhong Qinglu flashed a trace of blush across his cheeks, smacked lightly, and said, "Poor mouth." ”
Shen Shi smiled, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, scratching his head and not daring to say anything more. Zhong Qinglu then glanced at him, with a bit of concern in her eyes, and said, "Shishi, are you here to buy some elixir?" As she spoke, she looked at the lively counters around her, including those in the distance, her good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "But you came a little late, and almost all the good pills have been bought." ”
Shen Shi sighed, and just wanted to speak, but Zhong Qinglu muttered for a moment, and said: "There are rules here in the Dan Hall, all the elixirs placed in the elixir hall must be sold fairly, and the disciples are not allowed to detain them privately, so I can't help you with this piece." However, my master gave a few rare elixirs that she had personally refined for this trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm, and the effects were extraordinary. ”
Shen Shi was taken aback and said, "How can this work, no, no." ”
Zhong Qinglu smiled slightly, his expression was very calm, as if everything was a matter of course, and said, "How many times have you helped me, I just repaid you a little bit this time." ”
Shen Shi lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then said to Zhong Qinglu: "That's it, I still don't want your master's elixir, but you still have to come to my cave tonight." ”
