Vol 2 Chapter 242: Top five

The first five of chapter 242
Shen Shi paused, stopped, stared at the gap on the stone gate over there and looked at it carefully, confirming that it was not his dazzling but indeed the stone gate that had been closed all the year round suddenly opened today. After the door cracked, he was also a little surprised. √∟
For a long time, this cave has been closed and there is no movement. Shen Shi has gradually become accustomed to being alone in this secluded valley, but at the moment it seems that he really has a neighbor. This fact made Shen Shi feel a little weird in his heart, and at the same time he was a little bit hesitant in his heart. For a while, he was not sure if he was going to say hello to this strange and unmasked neighbor.
It's just that he stood there for a while, and saw that the stone gate remained the same, and there was no sign of people coming in or out. Looking at the situation, if it wasn't for a crack in the door, it would be exactly the same as when the stone gate was closed. It's deserted, it doesn't look like someone lives here.
Shen Shi took a step forward, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head, thinking that since the master of the cave has not been in contact with him for so long, he must be a person with a quiet personality, so he rushed over to disturb him, I was afraid that instead Make him unhappy. Besides, the cultivators on the Jinhong Mountain, unless they are really affectionate, after returning to the cave, no one is studying behind closed doors, and there are really few people who come around.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi turned around and continued to walk in the direction of his own cave mansion in front of him. Anyway, everyone cultivated their own ways, and no one would provoke anyone. Xiao Hei followed him, jogging humbly, he didn't seem to have much interest in the cave. It’s just that when the two of them gradually disappeared into the depths of this valley, after a long time, there was a faint sound of footsteps from behind the stone gate, and then suddenly they stretched out a hand behind the stone gate, Above the stone gate.
There was a rumbling sound from the bottom of the stone gate, and it slowly closed. Everything seemed to be restored to its original calm appearance. Under the light of the valley, you could see the palm beside the stone gate. It was not too big, but the whole palm. But his skin looked very rough, as if it were the hands of a farmer who had been doing heavy farm work all day in the world, gently closing the stone door.
With a "bang", with the last loud bang, Shimen closed again tightly, returning to its former cold and deserted appearance.
※※※
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to announce the final ranking of the Black Crow Ridge Trial in the Hundred Mountains Realm.
Shen Shi has hardly gone out in the past few days. He has been adjusting his breath and recovering his body in the cave. With the help of the extraordinary Golden Tiger Pill donated by Zhong Qinglu, the injuries he suffered in Black Crow Ridge have basically been healed.
In the meantime, Sun You came over to find him again, but it was nothing serious, but just came over and talked about it. By the way, I also took a look at Shen Shi’s injury. Taking this opportunity, Shen Shi also asked him where he was next door. I don’t know if Sun You, a well-informed person, will know what the identity of the owner of the cave is.
Who knows that Sun You really doesn’t know who lives next to him. He looked astonished at the time. He also said that he thought the cave next to him was abandoned and uninhabited, and Shen Shi was helpless, so he said that he saw the stone gate that day. After hearing the movement, Sun You agreed and went back to find someone to ask who was living inside.
I woke up early that day, calmed down in my own cave, and finished my daily homework of painting amulets. Shen Shi only felt that he was full of energy. When he opened the stone door and went out, the cool breeze blew and couldn't help but stretch out. waist. Beside, a black shadow rushed over, it was Xiao Hei, who ran to his feet and rubbed a few hard, very affectionate.
Shen Shi smiled and leaned over and touched its head, and said: "Xiao Hei, let's go, let's go to the Observatory Platform to see what ranking can we get this time?"
Speaking of closing the stone gate of the cave mansion, he took Xiao Hei along the mountain road. To be honest, Shen Shi himself actually had some expectations for this ranking, not to mention, he just took it back. The two Tier 4 monsters’ intact demon pills are extremely valuable. Coupled with the fragments but a large number of Tier 4 monster shells, this harvest Shen Shi confidently participates in all trials. Among his disciples, it should be at the forefront.
If you can really get into the top five, you can't say that you can get a treasure from the sect, it will definitely be of great benefit to your strength and even the trip to the Wentian secret realm in half a year.
Thinking about it all the way, he took Xiao Hei to the outside of the valley, and unknowingly walked outside the cave with the closed stone gate. When he got here, Shen Shi slowed down subconsciously, and glanced at the entrance of the cave mansion over there, only to see that the stone gate over there was already closed and closed, and the stone path outside the cave was still everywhere. The fallen leaves and dead leaves are almost exactly the same as before.
If he hadn't seen the stone gate open a crack yesterday, Shen Shi would really think that nothing has changed.
After looking over there in silence for a few moments, Shen Shi shook his head slightly, thinking that he did not know which senior brother or sister with eccentricity in the same family lived here, who was so strange and strange. However, there are tens of thousands of people in the cultivator, and it is not a small number of people who are addicted to searching for the road. It is not surprising that some people are weird. So Shen Shi didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, if everyone doesn't talk to each other or disturb each other, it doesn't matter.
He walked all the way, behind him, the cave mansion was quiet, only in this quiet valley, as if it had become a part of the mountain range.
Walking all the way through the mountain road and over the layers of stone steps, Shen Shi finally walked to the wide and flat sea-viewing platform.
As soon as he came up, Shen Shi was taken aback by what he saw in front of him, and saw that on the observatory, which was very lively on weekdays, it turned out to be a crowded black figure, and the number of people seemed to be larger than usual. Several times, it feels as if all the disciples of the Lingxiaozong on Jinhong Mountain have come here to watch the excitement.
Seven huge Hongjun pillars stand on the square, and you can see it at the center of the Guanhaitai, which is the most central stone pillar among the seven Hongjun pillars. The banners, with texts written in a Chinese pen, are clearly visible line by line. Countless Lingxiaozong disciples are all gathered around, looking up and watching.
Shen Shi's heart beat, knowing that it must be the publicity of this trial, and he squeezed into it quickly, and at the same time subconsciously glanced around, but only saw the crowds, and temporarily did not see the faces he knew well. , Sun You, Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu, and others, don't know where they are now, maybe they are somewhere in the crowd.
Shen Shi felt that he was a little nervous, and then he smiled bitterly to himself, thinking that he still valued this place quite seriously, and slowly squeezed closer, seeing the handwriting appear visible, Shen Shi quickly raised his eyes. Go, I saw a lot of names and harvests recorded on the yellow banners, but at the top, the most conspicuous list of names totaled dozens of people. These are the most critical and important ones that can enter the Wentian Secret Realm this time. disciple. In addition, above all the names, there is the largest line of writing, only five.
The names of five people.
Shen Shi's heart beat inexplicably, and he didn't even care about the crowds around him. He just swayed with the crowd, while his eyes were fixed on the yellow banner.
From top to bottom, the top five rankings.
Five names:
Zhong Qinglu.
Zhong Qingzhu.
Shen Shi...
Shen Shi! Third place.
Shen Shi held his breath for a while, and looked at it carefully several times again. It was certain that there was no mistake. A burst of joy surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but shake his fist and wave his hand.
Although he had anticipated and expected in his heart, Shen Shi couldn't help being overjoyed when he really appeared in front of him. The third place was even higher than he expected. After all, he was only thinking about getting in. The first five are fine.
And took a closer look at the remaining two places among the top five. The fourth place is also a familiar name, Gan Ze, but the fifth name is completely unfamiliar. Kang Youling seems to be a female. The name of the disciple.
At this moment, there is a sea of ​​people on the sea-viewing platform, and everyone is staring at the top five on the yellow banners and talking about it. The fairness of this one will not be questioned. After all, the elders of the Yuandan realm personally supervise and count. When harvesting, several people also looked at it, and it was almost impossible to cheat.
But obviously in everyone's minds, the results of this trial, especially the top five places that won in the end, were far beyond the expectations of many people, and the most talked about was of course the first two places.
Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu.
No one could have imagined that it was actually two female disciples who came from Liuyunzhong’s family who won the first two. The odds are a little too small, but the facts are right in front of them. At this moment, I don’t know how many. People would secretly wonder, could it be said that the long-delayed Liuyun Zhong family actually had to rely on these two younger women to rise again?
And Shen Shi also calmed down slowly after being excited and excited. He also noticed this, and was a little bit astonished. Then he remembered that when Zhong Qinglu returned that day, she seemed to have said casually that she had good luck and found some treasures. if. At that time, I didn't care too much, but at the moment, it seemed that the treasure I picked up really seemed to be something incredible.
Recalling his own experience, the corners of Shen Shi's mouth twitched, thinking that the names of both himself and Zhong Qingzhu were almost lost in the black crow ridge, and finally walked through the ghost gate, how many of them It was dangerous, and how much effort it took to get those valuable spiritual materials.
But compared with Zhong Qinglu's side...Shen Shi smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering if luck is indeed an indispensable attribute of the cultivation...
In addition, it is not surprising that Gan Ze entered the top five. In fact, most people were more optimistic that he would be in the first place. For some reason, when Shen Shi saw Gan Ze below him, he suddenly became somewhat inexplicably happy.
As for the fifth place Kang Youling, Shen Shi was not too familiar with it, so he didn't pay attention. At this moment, the crowd was crowded on the Guanhai Platform. When everyone was discussing, a deep voice suddenly came from the sky above the Guanhai Platform. Everyone's voices, like the sound of bells and drums, floated far away:
"The announcement has been made, everyone has returned to their thrones, and the top five people will go to the Hall of Clouds and see the real master of the teaching."
