After picking up the last Holy Crystal, Shen Shi had seven, and Zhong Qinglu had three. Zhong Qinglu looked at the three sparkling Holy Crystals for a moment, and then threw them into Shen Shi's hands. She said angrily, "Put them away. Don't think they are..."
Before the words were finished, Shen Shi turned his hand and grabbed her white palm. Zhong Qing was about to get angry, but he saw Shen Shi gently put the ten Holy Crystals into her hand, and then pushed her finger to the palm, as if holding it firmly.
She lost her mind for a moment, but what she wanted to say was stuck in her mouth, and she could not say it again.
As for Shen Shi, he seemed to relax. He simply sat on the ground, leaned against the bed, looked at the top of the stone chamber, and suddenly said, "Zhong Qinglu."
"Why?"
"I was joking just now."
"..."
"Do you know why I chose you to do this gambling transaction?"
Zhong Qinglu frowned and said, "Didn't you say that because..." She seemed to think of something, but when she said half of it, she kept silent, but Shen Shi quickly said it for her.
"Because, I think you are the most gifted in alchemy among the new disciples of our generation, or that sentence. If I don't choose you, can I go to find other trash?"
Zhong Qinglu felt embarrassed, but somehow, for no reason, she seemed relaxed.
Shen Shi looked at her, smiled, looked cheerful and calm, leaned back against the bed and said, "I have confidence in you. Why do you have so many distractions and doubt yourself?"
Zhong Qinglu slowly took a breath and gradually calmed down. Pingri's pride seemed to return to her. She snorted, as if she didn't care to answer Shen Shi's question:
"Just get ready for Lingjing. You are a wordy old woman!"
Shen Shi is speechless. Zhong Qinglu stands up and says, "Open the door."
"Oh, oh!" Shen Shi quickly jumped up and opened the stone door with a cloud rune. With the sound of rumbling, the stone door slowly opened. Zhong Qinglu took the ten Holy Crystals into her arms. As she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a touch of green se near Shen Shi, like a small hourglass. Curious, she said, "What is that?"
Shen Shi raised the hourglass in his hand and said, "That's what you asked. The hourglass, you can see that the sand is completely leaking from one end. It is accurate after an hour."
Zhong Qinglu said, "Ah," and took a little liking. "Eh, there is such a thing. I need to watch the stove every time I make pills. If you don't need it, why don't you give me the hourglass?"
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "This is the only thing my parents left me. It's not good for others."
Zhong Qinglu obviously did not know the origin of this. She was shocked when she heard this, then nodded, "Oh", and turned away from the stone chamber.
Seeing her figure gradually receding, Shen Shi slowly raised his hand, and the stone door closed again. He still kept his back against the bed. Suddenly, his face showed some strange gods, including some doubts, and he whispered to himself:
"Alas, is this girl really worth believing? She should not really be punished..."
※※※
This day passed peacefully. Shen Shi did not go out again, and Zhong Qinglu did not come back.
The next day, the day after Shen Shi came back from the demon island, Ganze was in danger on the demon island, which caused the Black Fish Island to suspend its mission on the demon island. Finally, the follow-up and reasons of the incident were also announced. And because Ganze was born in the Gan family and he was extraordinarily talented, the incident spread all over the island in a flash, and almost everyone knew it.
When ri ganze wanted to go to the demon island to see the task of catching demons, he got the favor of Lin Hu, the senior brother of Ningyuan State, after boarding the ship. Even after he got on the demon island, Lin Hu must follow him. After the other disciples of the Qi refining realm went to the demon island, they began to hunt the spirit materials of the demon animals separately. They did not even go deep into the forest of the demon island. They only carefully hunted the low-level demon animals on the beach around the demon island. As for finding a nest of black tortoise eggs on the beach, it was sheer luck.
Ganze intended to come to the demon island to try his hand after receiving the demon catching task. After all, he is now the most outstanding genius among the new disciples. He is the only one who has cultivated to a higher level in the realm of gas refining within three years. Even though he is modest, he still has a little pride in his heart, so he can't look at the low-level monster, so he also entered the deep forest of the demon island.
On the way, Lin Hu naturally accompanies him. With his practice in Ningyuan, the original demon beasts will not talk to him any more. Ganze and he can be said to have broken their momentum. Ganze is also very excited. Lin Hu strikes while the iron is hot, but he proposes to take him to the core and most dangerous demon catching cave on the demon island. There are not only dangerous demon beasts hidden in the cave, There are even many weird Yin ghosts, but they are also the place where the most advanced spirit materials are produced in the demon catching mission.
Ganze people are careful. The newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger. In addition, Lin Hu's chest is flapping loudly. He only said that his practice in Ningyuan was enough to keep Ganze safe, so they rushed into the demon catching cave excitedly.
As soon as I entered, something happened.
What happened in the demon catching cave? What evil monsters or strange ghosts Ganze and Lin Hu met? They haven't been mentioned in many rumors on the Green Fish Island. Obviously, nobody knows about this. Everyone speculates that all kinds of monsters and ghosts have been told one by one, including the "yin ghost king" who is said to be sealed in the deepest part of the demon catching cave and hasn't seen Tianri for many years, Some people also wondered whether they escaped and gave them a blow!
In a word, there are various guesses, but only one result is that after the two people were in danger in the demon catching cave, Lin Hu disappeared in that demon catching cave. Ganze seems to have escaped reluctantly by virtue of a body protection treasure passed down by the Gan family, which inspired some kind of thing to ask for help. Gan Wenqing, who is ranked among the three Lingxiao swords on the Golden Hongshan Mountain, arrived quickly, and escaped the day of birth luckily.
Shen Shi and others returned to the Black Fish Island by boat. Zeng Zhibo quickly reported to Wang Gen. Wang Gen. was also shocked. He immediately rushed to the demon island with his sword. On the way, he met Gan Wenqing and saved Ganze. It was a great luck.
However, there are still some shortcomings in this matter. First, Lin Hu, who entered the demon catching cave with Ganze at the same time, has no news. Second, according to Zeng Zhibo, another condensate border disciple on duty at the demon island when Li was on duty, Niuxiong, who was on duty with Li, was also forced into the demon island at night to save Lin Hu and Ganze. The direction he went was also the demon catching cave. But after that night, Niu Xiong disappeared mysteriously, and no one ever saw him again.
The incident was so serious that even Wang Genzhi could not suppress it. It soon spread to the whole Lingxiao Clan. The only successor of the Gan family was in danger. At the same time, two Ningyuan disciples disappeared on the demon island. At that time, several elders were angry. It is said that Wang Geng was even reprimanded for this.
The wind and cloud gathered on the Golden Rainbow Mountain, and it was once said that Wang Gen would be replaced to preside over the affairs of the Black Fish Island.
However, the limelight suddenly changed. It is said that at a meeting of elders of the Yuan Pill Realm convened by Immortal Huaiyuan, the leader of the sect, to discuss this matter, Wang Gen's mentor, who is now the second most important person in the Lingxiao Sect, Sun Mingyang, who is already the top Immortal of the Yuan Pill Realm, was furious. In the presence of Immortal Huaiyuan, the leader of the sect, and a group of elders, Wang Gen pointed out that this matter was very bad, Instead, Gan Wenqing rashly intervened in the affairs of the Green Fish Island, in flagrant violation of the iron rule that Immortal Huaiyuan set that outsiders should not interfere in the past. What is the purpose of this?
Since you can go to rescue at any time, can Pingri give you all the auxiliary benefits of cultivation?
Gan Ze claims to be the first new disciple of Lingxiao Sect in hundreds of years. But is there something wrong with this?
At the end, Elder Sun stared and shouted loudly: Could it be that the Gan family realized that their status was so high that they didn't even pay attention to the leader?
As soon as this was said, there was a silence in the Presbyterian Meeting. It was said that under the Great Immortals who knew the Tao and the Dharma, there seemed to be a faint sound of wind and thunder floating, and the whole Golden Rainbow Mountain was changed.
As for what happened later, no one knows. Only three ri later, Ganze was a little better, so he hurried back to the Black Fish Island and stayed behind for several ri; On the Jinhong Mountain, Gan Wenqing was severely punished. But when Li, the always powerful elder Yun Ni, unexpectedly kept silent at the presbyterian meeting, he finally went to ask the leader of the sect for help. He even heard that she went to find Elder Sun Mingyang once, which made Aitu Gan Wenqing's punishment less severe, but he was still punished to leave the Jinhong Mountain and go to the "Hundred Mountain World", which is called Lingxiao Sect guarding the backyard, to do an extremely dangerous task.
The Gan family, which had once enjoyed high prestige because of Ganze's rise, suddenly fell silent in Lingxiao Clan overnight. Among the twenty-two elders of Yuan Pill State, two elders who were closely related to the Gan family also announced their closure.
However, Elder Sun Mingyang and Elder Sun's family are full of morale, and everyone is optimistic about them. In particular, Wang Gen, who is in charge of the affairs of the Green Fish Island, has been praised by many people. His reputation has soared in the door. Even if the root of the matter is found out, Wang Gen did nothing at all in this matter. At most, he rushed to the gate immediately after learning the news
After this incident, Wang Gen's reputation among the Lingxiao Three Swords has faintly surpassed Gan Wenqing's, and he directly approached Du Tiejian, the disciple of the leader of the sect. The voice of taking over the next leader of the sect also rose at the same time. However, after he returned to the Black Fish Island, some Lingxiao Sect disciples in Xuanri Hall accidentally saw that the senior brother Wang Gen was depressed and often locked himself in a quiet room. Occasionally, when he was in a daze, he even showed a hint of self mockery.
As for the demon island, Lingxiao Zong soon sent someone to check it. Wang Gen and others went into the demon hunting cave and searched it carefully, but there was no clue. Although the monsters and ghosts in the cave were powerful, they were naturally ordinary goods in Wang Gen's eyes. The missing Lin Hu and Niu Xiong seemed to have completely disappeared in the world, and never appeared again.
Some people even secretly speculated that these two people would not be too unlucky. When ri met some fierce demon, would he be eaten directly?
Although this kind of words cannot be said clearly, they still spread quietly in private. Lin Huping ri's popularity is poor, and nobody feels sad. Niu Xiong has made friends with many people here. Zeng Zhibai and others are angry and sad.
But Rizi still had to go through. Although the incident was very serious, it was still gradually calmed down on the Black Fish Island. After confirming that it was really an accident, everything on the demon island was normal. After several Ri's, everything was handled properly. The ship bound for the demon island was finally ready to be rebuilt.
