The Lantern Festival is an annual event in Wenxian Town, which is held in the square in the center of the town, where many residents of the town and even some villages near Wenxian Town will come to watch this grand festival. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It is rumored that every year during the 'Lantern Festival', the mayor of Xianzhen will come in person, and many people will try their best to see the majesty of the town.
Ask the town lord of Immortal Town, it is a real dual powerhouse of the Qi Gathering Realm.
When night falls, the stars are dotted and the evening breeze blows to make people feel cool.
Although it is approaching night, the town is very lively, and every household hangs red lanterns in front of the door, pasting festive red couplets to start this annual celebration.
The center of the town is even more lively, with a large number of people frantically converging there, and on the square, a thousand strange colored lights bloom at night like flowers in spring. On the skin of the lantern are written all kinds of strange 'lantern riddles'.
These lantern riddles attracted many literati and ink writers, who gathered in groups to walk around under the lanterns, and there would be a reward for guessing the lantern riddles.
In addition to guessing lantern riddles, there are also special couplets and fights, as long as you have that self-confidence, feel that you have passed the five levels, Wu Slash Six generals can come forward to compete, and there will be unexpected rich rewards after victory.
Mo Tianshao followed behind Si Nanfeng and Si Nanling, the two siblings, crowded in the surging crowd, and walked all the way towards the center of the town.
He didn't expect that there would be so many people in Xianzhen, although the streets were a little crowded, they were not crowded like they are now, but now the situation is that he is squeezed into the crowd, he can't move forward or retreat, and he can't find the north at all. It was like a flat boat floating indiscriminately in the sea, and the two siblings in front of Si Nanfeng were also squeezed enough.
Because Sinan's risk is in the limelight, he and her sister are just dressed up and don't bring guards with them, so as not to attract the attention of people with a heart.
But even if he is dressed ordinarily, Si Nanfeng is like a beautiful son, and Si Nanling is as smart and lovely as an elf, and it is difficult to hide his stunning demeanor and bewitching figure. Many lustful people in the crowd seemed to take advantage of the crowd to touch Si Nanling's ass or attack his chest, but with Si Nanfeng present, they didn't want to die.
"Brother Mo, Xun'er is so uncomfortable!" In the crowd, who accompanied Mo Tianshao and was squeezed fiercely, there was also four or five-year-old Xiao Li Xun, Li Yunsuo did not follow, the old man likes to be clean, and he is not used to too lively places. However, the child-like little Li Xun is stubborn to play with him, after all, every child has a playful nature, where to play.
However, Xiao Li Xun is now squeezed into tears, tears are about to flow out, and her little feet don't know how many times they have been stepped on, and the pain is terrible.
"Kaoru doesn't cry." Mo Tianshao helped Xiao Li Xun wipe away his tears, picked him up, and let him straddle his neck, "Xun'er, you sit high, help my brother watch the road, and my brother will take you out." ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Li Xun wiped away his tears, and with a sweep of his eyes, he immediately found the direction of the town center square and so on, "Brother Mo, just keep rushing forward." ”
"Okay!" Mo Tianshao shouted, and rushed forward with all his strength, although he was only fourteen years old, he was still just a child, and his physique was also thin, but after all, he was a strong man in the double forging realm. What ordinary person can stop him from rushing forward?
Mo Tianshao rushed to kill among the sheep like a beast in the wilderness, and the crowded and turbulent crowd was stunned by him to break a way, and many passers-by were knocked to the ground by him, causing bursts of angry scolding from behind.
"Brother, let's go too! There are so many people here, and the town centre is spacious and lively. Seeing that Mo Tianshao was rampage with Xiao Li Xun like a madman, she didn't care about the scolding of passers-by, and she was also a little moved.
Si Nanfeng didn't say anything, he secretly gathered a lot of energy, and invisibly pushed all the passers-by who were blocking the way to both sides, and the brother and sister immediately moved forward unimpeded.
In the restaurant next to the street, there was a cold young man wearing a red robe embroidered with black Jiao, his eyes coldly watching the direction of Si Nanfeng's advance.
Behind him there are three guards wearing blood-red armor, these guards are the 'blood guards' of the Tianqing family, each of the blood-clothed guards is an elite soldier trained in the killing, and they are the elite guards of the Tianqing family, each of them can fight one against two, and the strength is generally in the forging body realm two or even three, and the powerful ones are even more in the four and five.
These three 'Bloody Guards' are all monks of the Forging Body Realm Triple Level.
That young man's strength was even more unfathomable, obviously, he must be a person who had broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm to cultivate.
This young man was none other than an elder of the Tianqing family, named 'Wu Yixi'. He doesn't belong to the Tianqing family, but he is just an elder of Keqing, who cultivates magic skills, practices witchcraft, and uses cruel methods, and has been supported by the Tianqing family in the family's important place, and idlers are not allowed to approach.
Don't look at his appearance in his twenties, in fact, he has been cultivating for more than 200 years, and he has already broken through the realm of forging the body and stepped into the level of gathering qi. It is one of the five Qi Gathering Realm powerhouses rumored by the Tianqing family.
"That person is the son of the Sinan family, Sinanfeng?" Wu Yi's cold and evil eyes stared at the back of Si Nanfeng who was far away, "Gather spiritual power, release spiritual energy, and operate freely." Sure enough, as the news said, this son stepped into the level of gathering qi at a young age. If it grows up in the future, it will be the scourge of the Tianqing family. ”
Immortal cultivators have always taken their lives from the sky. Only a long period of time can ensure that an immortal cultivator can constantly break through one predicament after another.
Wu Yixie has been cultivating for more than 200 years to break through the Qi Gathering Realm and obtain the 300th birthday, which shows the difficulty of forging the body realm to the Qi Gathering Realm.
This is also because Wu Yixie has some talent, otherwise, it is impossible for some people to break through from the Forging Body Realm to the Qi Gathering Realm in their entire lives.
And Si Nanfeng broke through to the Qi Gathering Realm at twenty-five or six, and his talent was extremely high, plus there were still two hundred and more decades of life in the future, and it was not a problem to break through to another level to increase his strength and lifespan.
If this continues, waiting for the Tianqing family is naturally the fate of destruction.
The world of cultivators is also a world where the strong are respected, everything depends only on fists, not on laws and truths, whoever is strong is the law and who is the king!
Just like the Tianqing family is now pressing the Sinan family, one day it is not impossible to wait for the Sinan family to grow and even destroy the Tianqing family.
"Elder Wu, I still hope for instructions." A 'blood-clothed guard' asked respectfully.
"The three of you go and try him first, this son is said to have a stubborn illness that has not been cured, and the strength he wants to play is not at the peak. I'm going to watch Fang make a move. Wu Yi's evil eyes flashed with a cold light, and the three 'blood-clothed guards' behind him directly led the order.
"The Lantern Festival is really lively, and the annual event lives up to its name!" Mo Tianshao came from a poor rural area, and he had never seen such a grand festival, so he naturally sighed again and again, like Grandma Liu watching the back garden.
Xiao Li Xun, who was sitting on the top of his neck, also looked around with a pair of big watery eyes, and there was a little starlight in his eyes: "Brother Mo, I want to eat rabbit candy!" ”
"Bunny candy?" Mo Tianshao was puzzled, and then, he looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Li Xun's little finger, and immediately saw a vendor in the corner of the square, using sugar water to make all kinds of vivid animal candy. Xiao Li Xun likes rabbits, and immediately saw the cute rabbit candy.
Mo Tianshao smiled, it was really a child, so he took Xiao Li Xun and walked towards the corner. Si Nanfeng and Si Nanling saw it and followed curiously.
"Would you like one or two too? This animal made of sugar water is delicious. Mo Tianshao looked at Si Nanling and Si Nanfeng and asked.
"Then I want Candy!" Si Nanling shouted.
"I'm going to want monkeys!" Si Nanfeng smiled.
"But I have to warn you, you're in for a treat." Si Nanling looked at Mo Tianshao.
"Okay! Isn't it just a few pieces of candy? Mo Tianshao waved his hand and bought rabbit candy, rooster candy and monkey candy respectively, and he himself bought sheep.
After paying, the four of them ate while walking, occasionally watching the lanterns and guessing the lantern riddles, and every time the clever Si Nanling guessed the lantern riddles and got a lot of gifts.
Subsequently, a few people went to see many literati and ink artists competing for talents, composing poems, lyrics, couplets, calligraphy and paintings, which made Mo Tianshao and the four of them breathtaking.
But what they didn't know was that in the crowd, there were three people in bloody armor staring at them coldly in a dark corner like night owls.
Si Nanfeng, who was originally talking and laughing with Mo Tianshao and the others and watching the Lantern Festival, had a look in his eyes, his divine sense had already sensed the existence of those three people, and he also knew that those three people were the elite guards of the Tianqing family, the 'Bloody Guard'.
"There are few days." Si Nanfeng came to Mo Tianshao's side.
"What's wrong?"
"The Tianqing family sent someone to kill me."
Mo Tianshao was taken aback, "Sure enough, they are unwilling to let go of you easily." ”
"I have something to trouble you1."
"What's the matter?"
"Wait a minute, take my sister and leave safely, I'll deal with those three, I don't want my sister to be hurt."
After pondering for a moment, Mo Tianshao nodded, but he still asked, "Can you deal with those three people alone?" ”
"The strength of those three people is all in the Forging Body Realm, and it is easy to kill them."
"In that case, I'll leave with Miss Si Nanling and Xiao Li Xun first." After that, Mo Tianshao came to Si Nanling's face, "Miss Ling, I heard that there are beautiful women dancing on the east side of the square, why don't we go and take a look?" ”
"Go yourself! Children love to look at beautiful women! Si Nanling glanced at Mo Tianshao with a mocking look.
Mo Tianshao touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Why don't we go somewhere else?" ”
"If I don't go, I'm going to watch these people dance here." Si Nanling made a cute grimace.
"Look! There are acrobatics! ”
"Where?" Si Nanling jumped.
"It's right ahead, let's take a look." As he spoke, Mo Tianshao grabbed Si Nanling's wrist and disappeared into the crowd.
Sinan Lingqiao's face was flushed, she usually looked like a ghost, but in fact, her heart was very simple.
Since she was born, she had never held hands with any other boy except her brother, and the feeling made her heart beat like a deer, and she forgot about her brother's existence for a while.
Si Nanfeng watched Mo Tianshao pull his sister away, "Good boy, dare to eat my sister's tofu in front of me." Forgive me, though. ”
The words fell, and his body was as silent as a ghost.
The three blood-clothed guards in the dark corner saw Si Nanfeng suddenly disappear into his surveillance, and immediately became confused.
"Gone?"
"Where have you been?"
。。
"May I ask you three are looking for me?" Behind the three blood-clothed guards, a cold voice came from them.
Immediately, as if they had been shocked, the three of them turned around sharply and saw the comer. It was Si Nanfeng.
