Vol 2 Chapter 183: desire

Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Three
Shen Shi left the Xu family mansion early in the morning, because considering that Ling Chunni was already very safe in Xu's house, he came out this time and brought Xiao Hei to his side. ; When traveling abroad, Xiao Hei can find spirit grass first, and secondly, he is a reliable thug when he meets monster beast. Well, it should be considered reliable.
As for the place to hunt monsters, after thinking about it, Shen Shi finally decided to go to Centipede Mountain again. The last time he went there, he met Xu Xing and was besieged by the monks in Shanxiongtang. He didn't really go deep into the mountains, so he didn't get much. You can explore it this time. As for the previous legend that there were ghosts in the Centipede Mountain, Shen Shi didn't find any traces for a whole day and night when he passed by last time. It must be a boring rumor that came out from nowhere.
The idea was established, so he took Xiao Hei out of the city to the Centipede Mountain, and an hour later he reached the foot of the Centipede Mountain. Same as the previous time, because of the vast terrain and dense forests, he did not see any other monks, but compared to this entire mountain range, there should be many monks who came with the same purpose, including casual cultivators. of.
Shen Shi rallied and walked towards the mountains, and at the same time said to Xiao Hei sternly: "Xiao Hei, we are going to the Hundred Mountains Realm in a few days, but we are going to do something big. That can't be careless. You must be prepared. You. Today I have a snack, and I found a lot of high-level spirit grasses. I will also give you more spirit crystals, okay?"
Xiao Hei grinned and nodded. He seemed to be in a good mood, and Shen Shi was also a little happy at once, so he walked into the mountains alone. Unexpectedly, after entering the mountain for a long time, Shen Shi’s good mood gradually became tormented. Xiao Hei did not seem to be particularly lazy. He often smelled and smelled, but for some reason, this one is always right. The extremely sensitive piglet in Centipede Mountain hasn't found a few spirit grasses for a long time, and the ones that are occasionally discovered are some of the most common and low-end first-order spirit grasses.
On the contrary, Shen Shi came along and met a lot of low-level monsters. The value of the beast's body and spirit obtained after the killing seemed to be much higher.
After a while, Shen Shi finally couldn't help but said to the little underworld: "Hey, stupid pig, if you don't want to find it, just let it go. I'm used to not talking about you even if I'm honestly lazy. Why are you late? Have you actually learned to pretend?"
Xiao Hei hummed twice, and looked a little puzzled. He squatted at the feet of Shen Shi, looked at the mountains and wilds in front of him, raised a pig's hoof, scratched his neck and chin, and whispered in his mouth. He grunted for a while.
Shen Shi glanced at it sullenly, and said, "Such a large mountain range is full of spiritual energy. It is impossible to have spiritual grass." After a pause, his expression seemed to have thought of something, and he couldn't help but frowned. With a hint of doubt, he said to himself,
"It seems that there are a lot more monsters along the way than before. I remember when I came last time, there were not so many monsters in the surrounding mountains..."

Floating Cloud City, the West Garden of the Xu Family Mansion.
In the West Wing, Ling Chunni sat alone for a long time. Seeing that it was almost dusk, when the day passed so unknowingly, she suddenly woke up. She woke up from the side of the bronze mirror and suddenly felt this room again. Zhong was so depressed and restless, he hurried to the doorway, pulled the door open, and walked into the yard.
The evening breeze blew gently, with a bit of coolness on her face, and calmed her mood a little, but the trace of fear in the bottom of my heart seemed to have turned into a poisonous snake and was entangled firmly. In her heart, she will never let go again.
She felt a little hard to breathe, standing in the small courtyard and looking up at the sky, the sky at dusk was dark and low, without the slightest feeling of high and wide open, as if people felt that it was this day and would embarrass her.
"what……"
After watching it for a long time, she suddenly became agitated and couldn't help but yell out loudly. Ling Chunni remembered that this was the strange Xu family, and immediately recovered and hurriedly hid his mouth, suppressing most of the screams. At this moment, the hustle and bustle alleviated the despair in his heart.
However, although this shout was suppressed, it did not mean that no one heard it. So after a while, the door of the east wing of the small courtyard suddenly opened, and Zhong Qingzhu stood at the door with a look of surprise on his face. Looking over, said:
"Chunni, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Chunni turned his head and glanced at Zhong Qingzhu, smiled forcefully, shook his head lightly, and said, "I'm fine."
Zhong Qingzhu frowned slightly and looked at Ling Chunni's pale face, which was obviously strange. After a moment of silence, he beckoned to her and said, "If you are fine, come in and sit down."
Ling Chunni was taken aback, perhaps because she was miserable after discovering the white hair, or because she was not at the side of Shen Shi who was thinking of her at the moment, but she was extremely weak, so she finally nodded gently and walked forward. There is the east wing.
Entering the room, Ling Chunni suddenly noticed something. He glanced at Zhong Qingzhu, slightly surprised, and said: "Can you walk around here? Your injury..."
Zhong Qingzhu was still wearing the green velvet blanket at this moment. After Ling Chunni came in, she returned to the bed and sat down. After hearing Ling Chunni's questioning questions, she smiled lightly and said, "A lot Up."
Ling Chunni was a little unbelievable, and said, "So fast?"
Zhong Qingzhu stretched out his hand and flicked the wound, and said calmly: "It should have been so, after the Ning Yuan realm, the cultivator's body gradually became tougher and stronger, and his recovery was ten times stronger than that of ordinary people. Injuries, or those highly toxic, which are eroded by bones and flesh, under normal circumstances, this injury will heal so quickly, me..." She thought for a moment, and then said: "There will be about three or four days, almost nothing. It's a big problem."
Ling Chunni had a bit more envy in his eyes, and said, "It's great to have the talent to walk in the way."
Zhong Qingzhu looked at her and said, "Why, don't you practice Dao Fa? I think you are also the cultivation base of the Qi Refining Realm. In the future, as long as you practice diligently, plus some opportunities, it is not impossible to cultivate. Ningyuan realm. By the way, what is your cultivation method?"
"..." Ling Chunni was at a loss for a while, and then stayed for a while and smiled bitterly, and said, "I am too talented in cultivating the Tao, and I don't have any good techniques. Ning Yuan realm... I dare not think about it."
With that said, it seemed that he was afraid that Zhong Qingzhu would have to ask about his own practice. Ling Chunni quickly changed the subject and said: "Qingzhu, you are so good in Taoism, you are successful in your cultivation, and you are a famous disciple. You must have been to many places? "
Zhong Qingzhu was taken aback, looked at her and asked, "Why do you remember to ask this?"
Ling Chunni sighed and said, "I grew up here in Floating Cloud City when I was young, and I lived with Qianniang. I haven't even been out in Haizhou for so many years. I almost always wandered around here in Floating Cloud City. Listen. Saying that our Hongmeng master realm is vast, there are countless magical places in the world, there are countless incredible wonders and places, I have never seen it."
Zhong Qingzhu laughed dumbly, then shook his head, and said: "Our Hongmeng Realm is indeed very vast, but you look at me highly."
Ling Chunni said: "What?"
Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said: "Actually, you think of me too well. To be honest, I haven't been to any other place for so many years. That is to say, I went to Tianhong City with my Master Le elder two years ago. It was an eye-opener, and I really saw the style of the No. 1 city that day. As for other magical places in the vast land, I have not visited it, but the days will still be there, and there will always be a chance to see it. ."
Ling Chunni thoughtfully, a dazed face passed by, and said: "Is there always a chance...Qingzhu, was Hongcheng really that good that day?"
Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said, "It is very spectacular, especially the legendary ten sceneries of Tianhong. It is indeed a miracle fortune, but it is a wonder on earth."
Ling Chunni lowered his head slightly and said softly: "I really want to go and see it."
Zhong Qingzhu glanced at her and said, "Let Shen Shi take you there. Anyway, you guys..." After the words, she didn't know why, her face looked a little weird, but Ling Chunni was very worried, but didn't realize it. It's just that in the depths of the eyes, there seems to be a faint light of yearning slowly illuminating.
"Tianhong City..."
※※※
Three days later, Shen Shi returned from an expedition to Centipede Mountain and returned to the Xu family mansion.
In these three days, Ling Chunni did not notice any other signs of aging for the time being, but the white hair was still like a poisonous snake that was constantly biting her heart, but above the surface, she still made a The look of joy and happiness welcomes Shen Shi's return.
It’s just that, compared with the time when he set off three days ago, Shen Shi looked quite dusty on his body this time. It seemed that he should have been a bit hard in the field these three days or the battle with monsters was not easy. At the same time, he looked on his face. A bit dignified, it seems a little worried.
Ling Chunni suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, made his most beautiful smile and got along with Shen Shi, speaking softly to relieve him, Shen Shi seemed to smile quickly, and covered his thoughts.
Ling Chunni endured and endured, telling herself not to be impulsive and shouldn't make any impulsive demands, but after a while, she finally couldn't hold back, and whispered to Shen Shi: "Stone, shall we go to Tianhong City? "
Shen Shi was taken aback, surprised, and said: "Tianhong City? Why do you want to go there suddenly?"
Ling Chunni sat down beside him with a pleasing eyebrow and said softly, "I... I actually wanted to go there for a long time."
Shen Shi scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and apologized, saying: "Chunni, in the next seven or eight days, the sect will be going to the Baishan Realm for the selection of elite disciples of the Fourth Zheng Conference. Although I have joined the Master Under the sect, but according to the rules, I also have to participate, which is considered to be a practice for the Wentian secret realm in half a year. So, when the Baishan Realm returns this time, I will take you to Tianhong City for a good time, okay? "
Ling Chunni was silent for a moment, and said, "When will you come back when you go to Baishan Realm this time?"
"Uh, it's really hard to tell." Shen Shi shook his head, "I guess it will be at least a month later."
Ling Chunni's body suddenly shook, and his face was pale again. Shen Shi was startled and said, "What's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly suddenly?"
Ling Chunni lowered his head and said in a low voice after a long while:
"I'm fine."
"Oh..." Shen Shi nodded, stood up, walked a few steps back and forth, and suddenly said to Ling Chunni, "I have something to go out first, this matter... you wait until I come back to talk about it."
Ling Chunni looked up at him and said, "Where are you going?"
Shen Shi took a deep breath, the worried look on his face faintly reappeared, shook his head, and said, "I'm going to find someone at Nanbaofang. You don't know him, so let's wait until I come back. "
After that, he hurried away.
