Brother, why is he like this?

Today's big competition is over, the two returned to Songxueju, and Shen Lingyuan sat down under the stone pavilion to drink tea.

Ye Tan casually scattered a seed in the front yard and watered it with spiritual energy.

During the three months in Songxue Residence, Ye Tan practiced swords with Shen Lingyuan after returning from the Tai Chi Hall, and at night the two of them meditated and bathed in the cold pool, and their days were quite pleasant.Ye Tan planted some spiritual flowers and grasses when he was free.At this moment, the flowers and trees in the small courtyard are scattered, and the aura is lingering, and the wind seems to be gentler than other places in Kunlun Mountain.

Shen Lingyuan considered how to speak.

During today's competition, some disciples in the field seemed to be quite surprised by Ye Tan's swordsmanship.He asked Elder Dan Xiao privately, only to know that Ye Tan never competed with others in swordsmanship class.

In the martial arts arena, disciples with good relationships gather together to discuss swords and learn from each other.Only Ye Tan was deserted, there was no one around him.

Standing in the noisy martial arts arena, he seemed to be separated from the world, so lonely that he could even swallow his voice.

For him, the world is dark and silent.

Shen Lingyuan felt distressed when he imagined Ye Tan alone in the dark.Although Dao is lonely, he is only a ten-year-old child. When he was ten years old, he not only called out friends, but also often acted like a baby by his master's side.

Let him communicate with others more.

Shen Lingyuan made up his mind, came to Ye Tan's side and was about to speak, when he saw Ye Tan holding a pot of verdant spiritual grass in both hands, turned around, and held it up for Shen Lingyuan:

"Senior Brother, Gathering Spirit Grass."

He looked at the trembling little white flower on the spirit grass, and at Ye Tan's upturned little face.

Shen Lingyuan: ...

Who said my Little Leaf is withdrawn? !I do not believe!

……

On the fourth day of the Zongmen Grand Competition, the sun was setting, but the enthusiasm of the disciples was unprecedentedly high.

In the fifth match of No. [-], Shen Lingyuan faced Cheng Lixue.

Shen Lingyuan saluted respectfully and said, "Senior brother Cheng, please enlighten me."

Cheng Lixue hastily returned a salute, and then drew his sword out of its sheath.

His sword is also a spiritual sword, named Fanbo, the body of the sword is as transparent as white jade, and its brilliance flows.

Cheng Lixue knew that Shen Lingyuan's swordsmanship was superb, and he often crossed borders to challenge during the foundation building period, and rarely failed.This is Shen Lingyuan's first time participating in the Zongmen Grand Competition after Golden Core, and no one knows how far his swordsmanship has reached.

Cheng Lixue collected his energy and slashed straight with his sword.

As soon as the sword came out, the sword light was divided into eight parts, breaking through the air with surging spiritual power, and rushed towards Shen Lingyuan at high speed, sealing off eight directions around Shen Lingyuan's body.

He secretly thought that Shen Lingyuan may not be better than a sword, but he has entered the golden core stage for a longer time, and his foundation is deep, so he can be suppressed with spiritual power.

Therefore, when he makes a move, he is a "lonely boat in the raging sea" with powerful spiritual power.

The disciples who were a little closer in the stands felt the turbulence of the air, and were shocked by the sword, and fell silent for a while.

Shen Lingyuan's whole body was shrouded in the turbulent sword light, and the fierce sword energy rushed towards his face. The vastness was like a raging sea, and he was really like a solitary boat in the raging sea, in danger of being submerged at any time.

In the blink of an eye, Kunwu unsheathed.

When Shen Lingyuan held Kunwu in his hand, his entire aura changed!

Before that, he was a gentleman as gentle as jade, a mature and stable senior brother Shen, and a great disciple of Cangxiao Peak praised by everyone.

But at this moment, he is nothing, he can't see anything, only the sword in his eyes is in his eyes.

All the disciples held their breaths to see how Shen Lingyuan dodged the sword. No matter which way they hid, it was the sword energy with strong spiritual power, and it was not wise to resist it head-on.

Suddenly, I felt my sleeves and hair rising, and the bamboo leaves beside the ring rustled.

got windy?

Shen Lingyuan didn't hide, he had no distracting thoughts, and swung his sword out.

The wind blew up from Kunwu, stirring up the spiritual power on the ring that was already surging like sea waves, crushing the surging sword energy like a rotten one.

The momentum of the sword did not end, and it continued to hit Cheng Lixue with the power to engulf everything.

Cheng Lixue's complexion changed, he tapped his feet, jumped high, held Fanbo with both hands, and turned around to slash fiercely at the attacking sword's edge.

Abundant spiritual energy surges in!

Cheng Lixue didn't expect that Shen Lingyuan was not only powerful in swordsmanship, but also not weak in cultivation. She might not be able to break through such a compelling sword energy, so she turned to protect the vital points of her body and retreated a few feet to avoid this tyrannical blow. sword.

But he also fell off the ring.

One sword breaks all spells.

All the disciples were in an uproar, they never expected that Shen Lingyuan would defeat Cheng Lixue, who was also a Jindan cultivator, with a single strike.

Dan Xiao was also quite surprised. He turned to look at his first disciple Qing Yu, and saw that Qing Yu's right hand was pressed on the sword, his knuckles were slightly white, his whole body was full of burning fighting spirit, and his whole body was like a fiery red flower. lotus.

Dan Xiao knew that Qing Yu's fighting spirit had been aroused by this sword.

She could even hear Qing Yu's saber Yong Zhou screaming excitedly.

Cang Xiao looked at the ring with an indifferent expression, neither happy nor sad, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Lingyuan put away the Kunwu sword, and immediately turned into the senior brother Shen with a smile on his mouth, making people feel like a spring breeze.

The steward of the deacon's hall announced Shen Lingyuan's victory loudly, like a boulder falling into the water, splashing countless water splashes.The disciples in the stands stood up and cheered loudly, and shook hands with their companions excitedly.They didn't know what they were shouting, they just felt excited.

The water splashed for a long time, and the ripples continued.The disciples are full of enthusiasm. The competition is over and they are still staying in the martial arts arena, practicing swords and sparring with their companions. Everyone has four big words in their hearts: "I want to become stronger!"——It seems that if you practice all night tonight, tomorrow You can become a Juggernaut.

So far, the first round of the competition is over. 64 Foundation Establishment disciples and [-] Jindan disciples were successfully promoted to the next round of competition.

The disciples had a day off before the second round of draws.Those who were eliminated were dragged down the mountain by their friends to go shopping in the market place to relax, and those who were promoted also took the time to enjoy this rare leisure time, and went down the mountain to play and relax for a while.

Shen Lingyuan decided to take Ye Tan down the mountain for a stroll as well.

The mortal residence under the mountain is called Changle City. Unlike Kunlun Mountain, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, it has four seasons.It's just that it's winter now, and when they went down to the foot of the mountain, everything they could see was still covered in silver.

On the day when the two went down the mountain, there were still patches of snowflakes floating in the sky, and the streets were decorated with lights and festoons, making it very lively.

After Shen Lingyuan asked, it turned out that today is the Shangyuan Festival, and every family has to go out to enjoy the moon, light lanterns and flames at night.As the sky darkened, more and more people went out to admire the moon and lanterns.

Ascetic practice is practiced in the comprehension world, not just these folk festivals.Shen Lingyuan was in high spirits, and led Ye Tan slowly through the bustling market, telling him what he had seen: the bright lights hanging in the air one after another, the tiny icicles hanging on the dead trees by the roadside, And the night sky without stars and moon, but with a little bit of fireworks.

Ye Tan'er listened to his senior brother's warm voice, raised his head to feel the chilly flowers falling on his face, imagined the fiery trees and silver flowers that his senior brother described, and just wanted to keep walking like this.

Several children came chasing and fighting, Shen Lingyuan saw that each of them was holding a lantern in their hands, which was very interesting.So he stopped them and asked how he got the lantern.

The children turned their heads and pointed not far away, then bounced away again.

Arriving at the place pointed by the child, I saw small and exquisite lanterns hanging in rows, and many people gathered around to watch.

Ye Tan didn't like crowds, so he was dragged by Shen Lingyuan, so he had to squeeze in along with him.

It turns out that you have to guess the lantern riddles, and you can get the lantern if you guess correctly.

Shen Lingyuan browsed carefully and saw a fish playing with lotus lantern.A small bamboo stick with a polished handle on one end and a vivid carp carved on the other end. The carp is painted red, and a lotus-shaped lantern is picked underneath, with a candle wrapped in lotus petals, which is very delicate. .

He took off the lantern and saw a note falling from the lotus flower, with only one word written on it: "Firefly".

Shen Lingyuan was about to answer when she paused suddenly, then lowered her head and asked Ye Tan: "Can you guess lantern riddles? It's an anagram."

Ye Tan hadn't been to town a few times, and he didn't know what lantern riddles were, but he knew crossword puzzles, so he nodded slightly.

Shen Lingyuan said: "Firefly, firefly's Ying. Guess a word."

Ye Tan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it a flower?"

His voice was soft, his height was short, and he was submerged in the crowd, and no one noticed.

Shen Lingyuan squatted down, hugged Ye Tan, and said with a smile: "Can you say it louder again?"

Ye Tan was caught off guard by being picked up by someone, startled, subconsciously reached out and put his arms around Shen Lingyuan's neck, and when he heard his voice right next to his ears, his face flushed immediately, he was about to get down after struggling, how could he say it again.

Although he was only ten years old, he was a monk in the Foundation Establishment period, and he was hugged like an ordinary child.

Shen Lingyuan patted the child writhing in his arms to calm him down, but he stopped forcing him, and asked the shopkeeper who sold the lantern: "Excuse me, is the answer to this riddle 'flower'?"

The shopkeeper heard a clear voice, looked up, and saw two angel-like figures.The standing young man was tall and tall, and in his arms was a little boy who was carved with pink jade. His appearance and clothes were all good, but the little boy's eyes were covered with a white cloth, but his temperament was not damaged, so he was a little stunned.

Shen Lingyuan was not annoyed, Wen Sheng asked again, and the shopkeeper came back to his senses, without looking at the lantern, just nodded and said: "Exactly, exactly, this lantern belongs to you."

Shen Lingyuan smiled, handed the lantern to Ye Tan, and said, "Would you like to thank the owner?"

Hearing his coaxing tone, Ye Tan pursed his lips and stopped talking.

After leaving the crowd, Shen Lingyuan put Ye Tan on the ground and straightened his messy skirt for him.

Ye Tan's cheeks were still flushed, she just felt that the lantern was hot, and she didn't want to throw it away, or not throw it away.

Seeing his awkward appearance, Shen Lingyuan looked a lot like an ordinary ten-year-old child, and became much more angry.Seeing that his cheeks were flushed and very cute, she reached out and pinched his cheeks.

Ye Tan seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly avoided, but no matter how fast he was compared to the Golden Core cultivator, his cheek was still brutally bruised.

The snow has stopped at some point, and the bright moonlight shines on every corner of Changle City.Jin Wu couldn't help the night, the long street was crowded with people, and there were fiery trees and beautiful flowers in the distance.Shen Lingyuan pulled Ye Tan to sit down at a small stall, and ordered two bowls of Lantern Festival.

Cultivators should not eat more grains. Shen Lingyuan has already fasted the grains, and Ye Tan just built the foundation. He still needs to eat, but it is mainly spiritual food.

Well, it's okay to eat some grains now and then.

Shen Lingyuan smiled and looked at Ye Tan who was sitting opposite, only to see that he was groping carefully to place the lantern in his hand on the table to prevent the candle from tipping over and burning the lotus.

Just now I looked like I didn't want it, but now I cherish it so much.Sure enough, he was still a child.

The warm candlelight hit Ye Tan's face, coating his snow-white face with a layer of blush, adding a little smoke and fire.

After a while, two bowls of Lantern Festival came to the table. The snow-white and round Lantern Festival was served in a small white porcelain bowl, steaming hot.Shen Lingyuan took the spoon and was about to eat when suddenly the table shook, and some of the hot soup in the bowl poured out, dripped down the wooden table, landed on the snow, and burned a small hole.

Ye Tan snatched the lantern on the table and extinguished the candle, but luckily it didn't burn out.

It turned out that a little beggar hit the table.
