He closed his eyes and practiced the mental method, and he felt a little angry in his heart. He held the lantern in his hand and said, "You are already very strong. You were the first in the last internal competition, and even Senior Brother Xu was defeated by you. Ah Yan, why are you like this?" Addicted to power? You were not like this before..."

When he first went up the mountain, Shen Yan was just passing through his cultivation. If it wasn't for the senior brother who forcibly helped him to practice some exercises to strengthen his body, perhaps Shen Yan would never have stepped on the road of cultivation, let alone have such a powerful cultivation base.

Looking at Shen Yan's back, Ju Xiaoya felt that her and Fu Qingshan's hard work during this period was like a one-man show. Suddenly, some unthoughtful words blurted out, "What's the use of you becoming so strong?" ? Do you have someone to protect? Master said that power is strong because of protection—”

"Don't mention your master to me!"

Shen Yan raised her eyes with paranoid and cold eyes, "I cultivate because I am not strong enough, if I am strong enough, I will force your master to make it clear..."

Shen Yan once questioned Wuqingzun why he arranged for Lin Shuxing to go to Duyuan Island, why did he let the young man take the half jade pendant, even if it was a jade pendant or even a pure girl (Shen Yan's biological mother), what does it have to do with Wuqingzun?

He asked the young man to complete such a dangerous task, but why didn't he even give him a life-saving talisman, why didn't he save him, why didn't he come back? !

If he is capable enough, Shen Yan will have the courage to ask the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms, why the people around him always have no good results, and because he is a bad star, does he accept the sorrow of this life as a matter of course?

Why does the law of the Three Realms always make people who love him wholeheartedly die for him, why!why! ?

The more Shen Yan spoke, the more broken his heart became.

But Ju Xiaoya trembled from fright at his friend's outrageous words.

For the next few days, Shen Yan still stayed behind closed doors. He seemed to be voluntarily isolated from the world, and his vigorous cultivation made one wonder whether he, like the Wuqing Zun, would ascend to the fairy world soon.

The fluffy snowflakes were flying, and the whole Qiku mountain was covered with dots of white. This surprised many disciples in the Wuqing sect, and they discussed whether the master had really succeeded in ascension.

If not, how could the evergreen hills, which have not changed at all throughout the year, suddenly follow God's will and welcome the snow all over the sky?

Shen Yan heard someone knock on the door, before he breathed out, the door was pushed open.

Fu Qingshan walked in with Ju Xiaoya who looked swaying, Shen Yan looked indifferent, and his dark pupils shone coldly under the window.

"Then what, we plan to go down the mountain to visit the rally, will you go?" Fu Qingshan asked.

Ju Xiaoya folded her chest and pouted, "Temple fair, there will be acrobatic performances, and lantern riddles to guess."

The two looked directly at each other, Shen Yan shook his head, "You guys go."

Fu Qingshan sighed for his friend's stubbornness, he walked over, propped his hands on the table, and advised: "We are not Buddhist practitioners, you don't need to be so strict with yourself. After all, we are still mortals right now? It's fine if you don't ask for it, why do you have to be like this..."

Ju Xiaoya snorted twice, leaned against the window and said, "Don't talk about Fu Qingshan, if you say a few more words, he will have to attack us again."

The cold wind mixed with delicate snowflakes poured in from the window, blowing the clothes of the three people in the house, and Ju Xiaoya looked against the wind. The scenery not far away caused the girl's slightly raised eyes to widen——

"Oh look!"

"The peach blossom forest is gone!!"

Fu Qingshan, who was still reasoning with Shen Yan, was taken aback for a moment, and walked to the window to look, Shen Yan's expression changed, and he also walked over, his black eyes staring at the peach garden forest outside the house, where the abrupt branches in the winter The inside is particularly eye-catching, like rusty and damaged gears firmly nailed to the ground, when a gust of wind blows, there are no soft petals swirling and falling, only residual branches.

"The tree is still there, but the flowers are gone..." Fu Qingshan touched his bald head, "It's a strange thing, a strange thing."

Ju Xiaoya turned back to look at the two friends, "You said...does this have anything to do with this sudden winter?"

Fu Qingshan looked at her and asked what she said.

"Think about it, Master can't retreat, there are four seasons on the mountain, and it even snows. As far as I know, peach blossoms only bloom in March and April, and it's unreasonable to bloom all year round...Isn't that Is it a sign that Master will have a major breakthrough?"

"Master's profound cultivation base keeps Qiku Mountain green all year round. If Master ascends, then this mountain..."

"That's what I mean."

"But……"

Shen Yan listened to the speculations of the two people around him, he stretched out his hand to catch the snow, and the white snow passed through his fingers, and the palm of his hand slowly melted into icy water, Shen Yan exhaled a ball of warm air, and said: "Today I will also go to the market in the evening."

Ju Xiaoya and Fu Qingshan, who were still bickering, stopped talking, looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go play together."

Qiku Mountain is located in Yunzhou. There are many villages around a hundred miles away from the foot of the mountain. A little further away is a small town of various water towns. As far as it is further away, it is close to the capital of Yunzhou. It is connected to the official road to enter and exit other state capitals. up.

Ju Xiaoya is the last child in the Wuqing Sect, and he grew up in the town, so he is naturally more familiar with the village and town environment than Fu Qingshan and Shen Yan. There were shadows of non-practitioners on the road, so they landed from the magic vessel and walked to the riverside under the faint moonlight.

The winter night is very cold, and pedestrians of mortal physique are wearing heavy clothes with cotton linings around their bodies, breathing white breath and hurrying along, their cotton boots stepping on the snow with messy and mixed footprints.

The three of them negotiated the price with the boat stern. Just before they got on the stern, they heard the sound of "chirp". Several fireworks rose in the sky and exploded suddenly in the night. The children closed their eyes in fright. .

"There are too many boats tonight, so I'll stop by the side..."

"Listen to your uncle, just send us there!"

Fu Qingshan covered Ju Xiaoya's ears, the girl grabbed his robe, completely lost the appearance when he was bargaining with the boatman, Shen Yan looked away, and when he looked up at the fireworks in the sky, he found that he had already disappeared.

After getting off the boat, the town was very lively.

The streets paved with stone bricks are brightly lit with candles, shops and restaurants are everywhere, and there are many street vendors setting up tables on the street. The flowers, patterns, figures, birds and animals made of colorful butter are dizzying. Hue is placed on an exquisite lamp stand, and the upper and lower parts are shining, which is extremely exquisite and transparent.

Many children are led by their parents to walk through the streets and alleys, holding them in their hands and wearing masks of characters from certain fairy tales on their faces.

According to Ju Xiaoya, people in their town value this kind of festival very much, and some people even dance carnivally and stay up all night.

"It's great, there is no such custom in my hometown..." Fu Qingshan sighed, "It would be great if I could come here with you next year."

The girl laughed when she heard the words, "Come here, not only next year, but also the year after, the year after...we will come together..."

A few people wandered around for a while, holding a lot of food and toys in their hands, and several masks hung on their necks and arms, and those that couldn't fit were secretly stuffed into the storage bag.

Fu Qingshan ate the small fruit wrapped in syrup in his hand, and asked Ju Xiaoya where her home was and whether it was close to here.

The girl puffed her cheeks and asked him, "What are you asking for?"

Fu Qingshan swallowed what was in his mouth, nana said: "Just ask."

He paused for a while, then handed the item in his hand to the girl, "Do you want to eat it or not?"

"Humph."

Shen Yan stood beside the two, but his eyes were looking at the small river not far away. The river was full of people, most of them were women. These people were either bending over or squatting by the river, putting down the boats with pious expressions. Light, then clasped hands together, muttering words.

Ju Xiaoya didn't bother to pay attention to Fu Qingshan, and walked to Shen Yan's side, "If you have unfulfilled wishes or expectations, you can go to release the boat lanterns like them."

How could Shen Yan place his hopes on such illusory things, his expression flashed in the night, he looked at Fuqing Mountain who was looking eagerly at this side, and said: "Aren't you going to take him home?"

"Who, who wants to take him—" The girl was like a kitten whose tail had been trampled on. As soon as its hair blew up, Fu Qingshan came over to comfort her.

Before leaving, Ju Xiaoya was still telling Shen Yan, "If you want to buy lanterns, go to the first one on the corner of the street, their craftsmanship is the best..."

Shen Yan waved his hand, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction to Wishing River.

The crowd was surging, and Shen Yan heard a cry by chance. He walked near the shop that Ju Xiaoya had mentioned, and the cry was still deafening. The child holding the soaring cannon was howling and crying, and those who didn't know thought it was their parents who were dead.

Shen was tired of nothing to do with himself, so he withdrew his consciousness and walked into the shop. Suddenly, he heard a dog barking.

The boy's pace didn't stop. He walked into the store, and the clerk in the store came up to him and asked him what kind of lantern he wanted to buy. Puzzled.

The young man in a moon-white robe looked around and let go of his consciousness. He saw a crying child with a runny nose being comforted and coaxed by a couple, and he saw Fu Qingshan and Ju Xiaoya walking into a certain house. , Seeing countless lighted boats going down the river, staggering and not knowing where they are going... He didn't see the dog that only barked.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this?"

"Adorned with light..."

Shen Yan's pupils dilated suddenly, he couldn't believe how familiar he heard the voice, the young man froze in place, turned his back and didn't dare to turn back, he was afraid, pleasantly surprised, frightened,
