Chapter 144 Friends
The atmosphere outside the Hall of Five Elements became tense in an instant. Seeing the first two Yuan Dan realm confrontation, there seemed to be a sign of disagreement. Xu Yanzhi and Shen Shi standing next to them were a bit at a loss. The two elder Yun Ni, at this moment, just looked at each other with cold eyes, and didn't mean to speak at all, and even a trace of impatient expression quietly passed through the depths of his eyes.
At this moment of tension, a hearty man's voice suddenly heard in front of him, saying: "The two uncle masters will calm down for the time being, don't do it, or let others see it. Isn't it the face of the second person?"
Everyone turned their eyes, and saw a man striding over, with a handsome smile on his face, a little unruly, and a black giant sword in his hand, just like that casually on his shoulders, reflecting There was a slightly dazzling bald head, so strikingly different from the appearance of ordinary people. There was only one person on the entire Jinhong Mountain. He was the big disciple of the master of Huaiyuan, who was also the first of the three swords of the sky, among the younger generation of disciples of the high sky sect. The most prestigious one, Du Tiejian.
Old Man Pu's sleeves were rolled up to normal, and he squinted at Du Tiejian who was walking by, then stopped, but snorted badly, and said, "Why are you here?"
Du Tiejian smiled and said, "Isn't it that I heard that Pu Shishu, you are planning to accept apprentices today, come and see the excitement." After saying that, he turned to show respect to Sun Mingyang and Yun Ni, but maybe it was because of his indifferent temperament. Now, the etiquette is a bit casual, but the two high-ranking Yuandan realms, Yun and Sun, seem to have a different eye for this Du Tiejian, and they didn't care about his negligence. They just nodded lightly and said hello after meeting.
Even if it was reported that Du Tiejian had been daring to scold Elder Sun Mingyang behind his back and was punished by the real person in charge, but at this moment, Elder Sun did not show any irritation and disgust. It looked like he had seen an ordinary nephew. Generally, there is no difference.
The original tense atmosphere in the court was eased by Du Tiejian's sudden appearance, but seeing Old Man Pu grunting, Du Tiejian smiled and said, "Uncle Master, why bother to be so angry?"
Old Man Pu pointed at Sun Mingyang and said, "The old man accepts his disciple, this old guy ran over and intervened. Aren't you annoyed for you?"
Du Tiejian coughed, lowered his voice slightly, and said: "Uncle Master, this matter... Elder Sun has already told Master and his elders."
"Huh?" Old Man Pu was startled, turned his head to look at Du Tiejian, and said in amazement: "What?"
On the side, Elder Sun Mingyang showed a slight smile on his face. He smiled slightly and said nothing.
Du Tiejian smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Master, my master said that when you were discussing matters at the meeting that day, you guys definitely decided that all elders must accept apprenticeships from now to the Fourth Zheng Conference. Strictly, and to be honest, the exam you set up before is indeed somewhat...well, too low."
Old Man Pu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Smelly boy, dare you say me!"
Du Tiejian was not afraid of him, but just smiled and said, "You are also true. Since you want to accept disciples, why did you shout so loudly during the meeting that day and set the rules to death?"
Old Man Pu chuckled, a little annoyed and said: "At that time, the old man didn't expect to accept disciples. So, you go back and tell your master, I will take those words back, mother, help you that unlucky master shout and cheer. He is half dead and a little bit good. I didn't say anything, but I still trapped myself, quit, quit!"
He spoke unscrupulously here, and the few people next to him were all looking at him. Du Tiejian gave a dry smile, first smiled apologetically to the other two elders, and then quickly took him to the side to persuade him for a while. Patting his chest did not know what he promised Old Man Pu. This made Old Man Pu's expression a little softened, but he still looked at Du Tiejian suspiciously.
"Boy, are you serious?"
Du Tiejian laughed, with a bold attitude, and said with a smile: "The big man is difficult to chase after a word, just a word, I will help you cover the little brother in the future." As he said that, he turned around and went away. He waved to Shen Shi, who was standing there also hurriedly responded.
Old Man Pu snorted and finally didn't say anything, but Du Tiejian smiled and turned around, walked in front of Sun Mingyang and Yun Ni, and said: "Two elders, my master asked me to pass a message saying that Elder Sun advocates strict observance of the rules. , This is right, exactly as it should be."
With a smile on Sun Mingyang's face, he nodded and said, "Brother Master Master really understands the truth."
Du Tiejian smiled, and then took a step forward, getting closer to Sun Mingyang, and at the same time whispered in a low voice: "Uncle Sun, Master said otherwise, anyway, you are all brothers in the same sect and are in the same position as the five elders. I still have to give some face; plus that junior student Chen Shi is really not good at Taoism, if he fails the exam too much, I am afraid that Pu Shishu's face will not look good. How about a compromise, this exam, since Uncle Master, you have already said, let him go to the middle level of the Coral Sea to look for the silver sea anemone beads, but the number is limited to one. What do you think?"
Sun Mingyang pondered for a moment, and then faintly said: "The old man just hopes that everything in the door has rules, not that he has any prejudice against that little disciple. Since the master teacher said so, so be it." As he said, his eyes turned. Looking at the elder Yun Ni who was standing aside, Yun Ni's eyes turned between bright eyes, his face was also faint, and he did not speak, but just nodded slightly, which was regarded as agreement.
Du Tiejian smiled and took a step back. The old man Pu over there walked over with a grimace and shouted at Shen Shi: "Come here, let's go, and today we will see if you have that ability. Can you find me a silver sea anemone bead back!"
Shen Shi took a deep breath and walked over quickly. Xu Yanzhi also followed with concern. Unexpectedly, Old Man Pu waved to her and said: "Girl, you keep the housekeeper, don't join in the fun."
"Hey!" Xu Yanzhi stayed for a while before he wanted to argue, he saw Old Man Pu roll his sleeves casually, and a strong wind rose instantly, pulling Shen Shi to his side, and then just floating on the ground, straight up. After flying to the sky, Sun Mingyang, Yunni and the other two immediately flew up, and several figures went straight up to the blue sky, and in a blink of an eye they turned into a few black spots and disappeared between the blue sky and white clouds.
※※※
To the north of Floating Cloud City, on a secluded street leaning against the towering city walls, there are many houses and courtyards with uneven pavilions, many of which are small families. After Sun You took Ling Chunni and left the Anshan Inn , And came here all the way.
The place where he placed Ling Chunni was just as he said before. It was a small house with only one house in total, plus a small courtyard surrounded by a white wall outside of the house, which was less than half the area of ​​the house, and one and a half old plants. The locust tree stood in a corner of the yard with its neck crooked, simple, secluded and deserted.
I chatted with Ling Chunni in the room, and after confessing some more things, Sun You walked out of here. When the door was closed, he just saw Xiao Hei running out, ran around the small yard, and then slipped to the locust tree. The tree rubbed under the ground, and seemed to be satisfied with this place, just like that, lying under the tree, looking sleepy again.
Sun You smiled, closed the door, turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing not far from the roadside outside the house, who smiled at him. Sun You nodded to him with a smile, and shouted, "Uncle."
The face of that person is somewhat familiar. It was Xu Xing, who had helped Sun You’s uncle when Sun You, Shen Shi and others were still practicing on Qingyu Island. After many years, his appearance looks slightly vicissitudes of life. Some, but the whole person still looks sharp and capable.
When Sun You came over, Xu Xing glanced at the house, then smiled and asked, "Is everything settled?"
Sun You said: "Well, I'm almost done." After speaking, he took a look at Xu Xing, and said, "Uncle, is it really safe here? If something happens to this woman, I won't be able to talk to Shen Shi Confessed."
Xu Xing nodded and said: "Don't worry, you can't believe my uncle's work. This house is not related to the grandson and Xu's family at all. Even if someone traces it, it can only find out that it was a real estate bought by a certain merchant. Something."
Sun You snorted, his expression lightened.
It's just that the two walked forward side by side for a while, but Xu Xing seemed to be unable to bear it, and said to Sun You: "But I always feel that you don't seem to need to help that woman do this. The house is not big, but In this Floating Cloud City, if you want to set up such an industry, you will have to spend at least a thousand spirit crystals. It is not an exaggeration to have a slightly better location."
Sun You said indifferently: "I'm not helping that woman, I'm helping Shen Shi."
Xu Xing nodded and said: "Of course, but..." He hesitated, but lowered his voice slightly, and said, "I heard that Shen Shi accidentally left the High Heaven Sect a few years ago, but he didn't do anything in the middle of three years. With an inch of advancement, among the disciples of the Ning Yuan realm on the Jinhong Mountain, if you talk about the Taoxing realm alone, I am afraid that it will be ranked in the bottom. Such a person, I don't think it is worth the little friends you spend so much energy to make friends."
Sun You paused in his footsteps and turned to look at Xu Xing, only to see Xu Xing's face calm, just looking at himself calmly. Sun You was silent for a moment, and said: "I know that you are good for me, uncle, but there is a reason why I tried to help Shen Shi."
He smiled, and said: "First, you have left the sect to work in Xu's family in recent years, so you may not be very clear about some personnel details. Shen Shi really delayed him for three years, but he went back to the mountain. He was almost immediately promoted to the Ning Yuan realm, and since this period of time, I see him as before. He often goes down the mountain alone for exploration and confronts all kinds of monster opponents. So if I expected it well, Shen Shi is right now. Although Dao Xing is not high, the actual combat power will never be low. Given time, when his Dao Xing realm rises, what kind of character will he be?"
Xu Xing said "Ah" thoughtfully.
Sun You paused, and then said: "Right, there is one more thing you may not know yet, that is, Shen Shi was probably caught by Elder Pu Si Yipu, the head of the Shutang at the gate of the Seventh Hall of Lingxiaozong. Sun may directly worship Pu elders and become one of the direct disciples. You would never think of a great real person of the Yuan Dan realm, and also a great monk who is listed among the five great elders of the Lingxiao Sect. His vision will Worse than us?"
Xu Xing was obviously taken aback. It seemed that the news that Elder Pu Siyi was about to accept Shen Shi as a disciple was quite shocking. He quickly changed his opinion. After pondering over there for a while, he suddenly seemed to remember What happened? He raised his head and asked Sun You: "It seems that Shen Shi does have some potential, little friend, you have a good vision, but you just said it is one of them. Is there any other reason?"
Sun You was silent for a while, and then calmly said: "Secondly, I really treat him as a friend."
