Vol 2 Chapter 257: Scruples

Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Seven
Just as Zhong Qingzhu wanted to speak, suddenly he only listened to the commotion of the Lingxiaozong disciples who were not far away. She and Shen Shi turned to look at the same time, and only saw a big ship sailing from the depths of the sea under the setting sun. , It is the immortal boat crossing the sea of ​​Ling Xiaozong.
After a while, the giant ship stopped at the seashore. All the disciples of the Lingxiaozong boarded in turn. Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu stood at the end of the crowd. When they heard the three or two groups of Lingxiaozong disciples talking with each other, most of what they said was about Fourfold meeting and Wentian secret realm. Obviously, among these disciples, many of them are also the elite disciples of Ling Xiaozong who are about to participate in the Sizheng Convention. Although there is no friendship, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu have seen some familiar faces in the crowd. , A few days ago, I also met on Hei Ya Ling, the Hundred Mountains boundary.
As for the two of them, they were a blockbuster in this trial, ranking high, and they were known to more people overnight, so many people in the crowd took the initiative to greet them or nodded to them from a distance. In order to be friendly, Shen Shi also agreed with a smile.
In the end, when the big ship turned to the depths of the sea and headed towards 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 white waves splash and rise under the ship, casually Talking.
Shen Shi sighed and said: "Presumably they have to do everything for this trip to Wentian Secret Realm."
Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, "That's natural, who isn't it? This opportunity is only once in a lifetime." After that, she looked at him with bright eyes and said, "You are in Floating Cloud City this time. Have you purchased everything you want to prepare?"
Shen Shi patted his waist, and said: "It's almost done, now everything is ready, just wait to ask the secret world!" He laughed, and his expression showed a look of expectation. 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 emotions, with a smile on his face.
"After arriving in the secret realm, are you sure?" Zhong Qingzhu asked Shen Shi's smile as if thinking of something.
Shen Shi thought of the wooden box that Master Pu gave to him in the Hall of Five Elements on the Jinhong Mountain that day. After thinking about the no less than two thousand talismans inside, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and laughed: "It's a little bit, anyway. I have everything I should prepare, and the rest is up to luck."
Zhong Qingzhu's heart moved. He had a few words to his lips, looking at Shen Shi's confident expression, he didn't know why, but he stopped talking.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
Everyone is going all out and desperately working hard for the future. At this time, where can you tolerate the slightest distraction?
With a hint of salty sea breeze blowing across the sea, blowing a few hairs on her sideburns, she quietly looked at Shen Shi, then turned her head in silence, looking out to the endless sea.
Shen Shi seemed to notice something strange about Zhong Qingzhu, gave her a strange look, and asked with a smile: "By the way, what did you do in Floating Cloud City before, are you going to prepare all kinds of spiritual materials for the trip to the secret realm?"
Zhong Qingzhu didn't turn his head to look at him, his eyes were still looking into the distance. The magnificent sunset glow under the setting sun seemed to be reflected in her eyes, like a blazing flame.
She paused for a moment, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I went to see my mother first, then walked around Nanbaofang, bought some spiritual materials, and returned."

When the setting sun was sinking into the distant sea, the immortal boat crossing the sea arrived at the foot of Jinhong Mountain. The disciples of Lingxiaozong on the boat got off the boat one by one and walked up the mountain along the mountain road stone steps.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu walked side by side behind, but perhaps because the sky was getting dark at the moment, Zhong Qingzhu's footsteps became a little hasty, and she quickly walked to the front of Shen Shi. After a while, she turned back and smiled at Shen Shi A moment, gentle and authentic:
"Stone, then I'll go back to the cave mansion first. The Sizheng meeting is suddenly advanced, time is too tight, and there are still many things to prepare."
Of course Shen Shi understood this to be true, because he himself was the same, and smiled immediately: "Okay, then you go first, see you later."
Zhong Qingzhu smiled sweetly and said: "Before leaving the mountain, maybe I will stay in the cave and not come out. I'll see you later." After speaking, she took a deep look at Shen Shi and hesitated. After a while, he said softly, "This time it’s important, it’s related to our life-long practice of Qi Luck. In addition, I heard that there are many unpredictable dangers in the secret realm. You have to prepare carefully in the cave and make sure you are safe. Don't be distracted by other things."
Shen Shi smiled and nodded, and said, "I see."
Zhong Qingzhu nodded lightly, then stopped talking, turned around and stepped on the stone steps, and went on his own. In the night, her figure flickered, swaying in the dark light and shadow, and quickly disappeared into the darkness in the distance of the mountain road.
※※※
Shen Shi walked all the way back to his cave, put down the wishful bag on his body, took out all the spiritual materials that should be purchased, and began to pack it up. In the middle, he also walked past the empty storage room next to the bedroom and saw the lonely wishful bag on the stone shelf.
In the last deal with Hou Sheng, he obtained a large number of spirit plants, part of which was handed over to Zhong Qinglu's refining medicine. While enhancing Zhong Qinglu's practice of alchemy, the spirit pill produced I also helped myself a lot during the trip to the Hundred Mountains World.
This time, his gaze stayed on the remaining wishful bag for a while, and after pondering for a moment, he walked in, picked up the wishful bag, and placed it on the stone table outside the living room of the Dong Mansion.
Under the bright light, his figure was walking back and forth non-stop, and did not rest until the dead of night.
The night passed in a blink of an eye, and in the morning of the next day, Shen Shi almost habitually opened his eyes and woke up. Turning his head and looking at it, he found that at the end of the bed, the little black pig was curled up and fell asleep. From time to time, there were a few snoring sounds, and he was sleeping very sweetly.
Shen Shi smiled, without disturbing it, stood up and stretched, and walked to the hall outside the cave. There were too many things to pack last night, so I haven't packed them properly. There were a lot of spiritual materials on the ground and tables, including a few wishful bags.
Shen Shi walked to the table, took the pen and paper, and began his daily homework.
In the quiet cave, time passed by unconsciously. An hour later, Shen Shi put down the rune pen in his hand, looked at the runes on the table with satisfaction, stood up and was about to continue packing, Suddenly I heard a few low knocks on the door of the cave mansion.
Who will be here so early?
Shen Shi was taken aback, with some doubts, walked over to open the Shimen, only to hear the rumbling sound, after Shimen stepped aside, he revealed a figure standing outside the Shimen with a smile on his face. It was Sun You.
"Ha, I guess you got up a long time ago." Sun You smiled, walked in, glanced away, looked at the spiritual materials and other objects everywhere on the table over there, laughed immediately, and turned to Shen. Shi laughed and said, "I started cleaning up so early."
Shen Shi smiled and nodded, and said, "There is not much time. After I clean up earlier, I have to pay close attention to the time to practice magic weapons and Taoism."
Sun You laughed and nodded again and again, seeming to agree, but then he saw three or four wishful bags placed on the side of the table, he was startled, and said in surprise: "How come there are so many Wishful bag, you are..." He rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something at this moment, he suddenly laughed and said, "I see, you have heard the legend of the Lingjing Mountain Range?"
Shen Shi smiled and said: "Yes, Senior Sister Xu told me that she also told me to bring a few more wishful bags. I thought about it. It is really not troublesome to bring a few more wishful bags, and after waiting in the secret realm, Maybe it will come in handy when it really comes in, 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 look back."
Shen Shi laughed and said, "Be prepared for it."
Sun You smiled and nodded, but after laughing, his eyes seemed to flicker, and his expression suddenly seemed a little low from the joy before. Shen Shi quickly sensed the changes in Sun You, and was a little surprised, saying, "What's wrong with you?"
Sun You hesitated and said, "Actually, I came here because there is another thing. I want to talk to you."
Shen Shi saw that his expression was not very good, and he couldn't help but frowned, and said, "What's wrong?"
Sun You took a deep breath and said, "This time I entered the list of Wentian Secret Realm, and my elder brother Sun Heng was among them."
Shen Shi was stunned and stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What?"
On the day when he was put on the list on the Guanhaitai, what Shen Shi cared most was of course the ranking of himself and a few familiar friends, especially when the Zhong sisters and himself were in the top five, he put all his thoughts on it. There was almost no attention to the people behind on it and the selection of treasures later.
In his mind, he thought that Sun Heng should have no chance to enter the Wentian Secret Realm, because when he saw Sun Heng return to the camp at Hei Ya Ling, the Hundred Mountains boundary, he was injured and sent directly. I went to heal his wounds, and didn't show up at the place where he counted the gains. I thought 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. Perhaps he had always gone to the inventory afterwards, and he had turned in a lot of spiritual materials.
He pondered for a moment, looked at You Sun, and said, "What do you think?"
Sun You silently smiled bitterly after a long while, and said: "I thought that the kind of blow that day, my elder brother should be completely helpless and won't fight with me again. I didn't expect that he would have such perseverance. He just survived, if he gets any chance in Wentian Secret Realm this time, I am afraid that my current position may not be truly reliable."
Shen Shi shook his head lightly, feeling a bit tricky, but after thinking about it, there was no good way to do this for a while, so he had to persuade Sun You to say: "Since we have reached this point, we can only watch while walking, and everyone is asking God. Mystery, maybe your chance is deeper and bigger than him? When the time comes, the Sun family will go up and down, and you won’t be able to recognize your status."
Sun You nodded silently, but he was still a little worried in the past, and he was obviously still not relieved, but his expression was still more cheerful. After talking with Shen Shi for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
Shen Shi wanted to persuade him to say something, but he didn't know what to say. This kind of infighting and secret fighting in the family was already treacherous. He didn't dare to say anything easily, so he sent Sun You all the way out. The Dongfu.
Only when the stone gate was opened again and Sun You just stepped out of the cave, he suddenly heard someone outside "Huh". Shen Shi and Sun You looked up at the same time, only to see Zhong Qinglu's slender and graceful figure walking down the mountain path. He came over briskly, with a smile on his lips.
(I had some cold symptoms yesterday, coughing and heavy head, but it’s okay. I went out to watch a movie Women’s Federation 2 with Xue mm in the evening, and passed a legendary "cat dung coffee" before entering the cinema, so I went in for a petty bourgeoisie... I went home and the whole person was ill. I couldn’t fall asleep at all and suffered from insomnia all night. Am I sensitive to coffee or neurasthenia? I got up at 6 o’clock in the morning and wrote a chapter with codewords. I felt like I was going to die. ...)
